Hello everyone,

GuMP and NewGrads are delighted to announce that Pub Mentoring is back!

Friday, 2 March from 6pm at Hotel Northbridge (cnr Lake & Brisbane St,
Northbridge).

New, experienced, or soon-to-be Librarians and Technicians are all
invited to a social gathering with special guest Jessamyn West.

Veteran librarian blogger, Jessamyn West (www.librarian.net), is in
Perth as a keynote speaker at the LocLib Conference
(www.loclib.org.au/special), and would love to meet up with librarians
from WA.

Pub Mentoring aims to enable Librarians and Technicians to network in a
social setting with colleagues from a wide range of organisations and
experience.

So come along and meet up for a quick chat, or linger over some
delicious woodfired pizzas and free live jazz.

To ensure that we have enough chairs reserved, please let me know if you
would like to attend.

Regards,
Linda Papa

What is GuMP?

The Graduate Mentoring Program is an ALIA WA Mentoring Group initiative,
designed to help graduates with the transition process in to the library
profession.

Facilitated on a volunteer basis by committed librarians from a variety
of library sectors, GuMP offers new librarians a nurturing and
informative platform to discuss issues relating to entering the
profession and continuing professional development.

It also provides a great opportunity to network with librarians from a
wide range of experience and expertise, and of course to maintain those
wonderful contacts established at Library School!

GuMP's program is determined by the needs and interests of participants.
Topics that have been covered in the past have included:
  a.. How to find that job
  b.. Curriculum Vitaes
  c.. Selection criteria
  d.. Interviews (incorporating the professional wardrobe)
  e.. Types of libraries: real life in the workforce (panel discussion)
  f.. Supervising, management skills, styles and issues, self management
  g.. Continuing Professional Development and ALIA
  h.. Managing electronic resources
  i.. Career planning
  j.. Web page design/management
  k.. Introduction to ABS, AusStats and C-LIB
