Dear CEAL colleagues:

The Membership Committee is actively soliciting volunteers and participants (mentors and mentees) for our Mentorship Program. The program was created to help match experienced East Asian librarians (mentors) with interested mentees, which includes but not limits to junior librarians and/or students. We not only match new or junior librarians with experienced librarians, but also arrange senior librarians for mid-career librarians who may have a specific objective. We welcome participations and suggestions from everyone. We are also planning “meet and greet” in Tronto.

3. “Get together! Paras!” hosted by Tomoko Kitayama Please join us as we start a conversation on the role of paraprofessionals and other non-librarian workers in Asia-related libraries. This is an opportunity for paraprofessionals and others to get to know each other and discuss such topics as: - Who are “paraprofessionals” in this field? What are common qualifications and certifications required for this role?

• What do we do? How does our work compliment and differ with professional librarians?
• How do we get training? What kind of expertise do we have?
• How do we pursue career development?
• What are the big issues facing paraprofessionals at this time?
• What is the future of paraprofessional work?

We welcome non-East Asian librarians’ and paraprofessionals’ participation as well. If you have any questions, please email tomoko.kitayama@ubc.ca.

The committee's goal is provide CEAL members with a place to discuss, exchange, and learn new ideas and practices as such. So, these are rather informal and inviting. So, please feel free to just stop by. Just bring your body! Please also spread the word about this initiative to your colleagues who may have an interest in these issues.

If you have any general questions, please contact Hikaru Nakano at hnakano@ufl.edu

We look forward to seeing you in Toronto
