Subject: [WAIN] GuMP and New Grads first meeting for 2007

Hello everyone,

New Grads are invited to meet with the facilitators of GuMP (Graduate Mentoring Program) to discuss what activities you would like to see happen in 2007 on Tuesday, 6 Feb, 6.00pm - 7.00pm at the State Library Café - with anyone interested in continuing discussions to move on to the Brass Monkey upstairs bar for nibbles and drinks.

Anyone interested in joining the facilitating team will be most welcome.

While GuMP is focussed on mentoring activities, as an ALIA New Grad Group representative for WA, I would also love to canvas any scope or interest in New Grad social activities.

Please contact me at lindapapa at bigpond.com with any RSVPs, ideas or questions.

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

You can subscribe to GuMP's e-list "aliaGUMPWA" hosted on ALIA's website http://lists.alia.org.au/mailman/listinfo/aliaGUMPWA and be informed about forthcoming meetings.
