We are pleased to announce that the 2007 Chinese American Librarians Association (CALA) Mentorship Program is now open for applications. The deadline is Monday, December 10, 2007.

The application forms are available at:

• http://www.cala-web.org/forms/fm-mentee.htm (for Mentee)
• http://www.cala-web.org/forms/fm-mentor.htm (for Mentor)

The major goals of the Program are:

• To help new Chinese American librarians to develop their professional careers
• To encourage and guide students of library and information science with career planning
• To recruit and provide a pool of experienced Chinese American librarians as potential mentors

Please fill out the appropriate form to indicate your desire to be a "mentee" or a "mentor." Participants of a previous year need to fill out the form again to join this year's program.

Please encourage Chinese or Chinese American students who study at the School of Library and Information Science in your areas to participate in the program. Non members should join CALA first (see online form at: http://www.cala-web.org/forms/calamemf.htm).

If you have any questions or suggestions, please contact any of the CALA Mentorship Committee members listed below.
