Process
In the early fall semester, a form will be sent through email seeking volunteers. This is a terrific mentorship opportunity and a chance to work with some very exciting student projects. Once you have filled in the form, your name will be added to a mentor pool from which we will pull when we do the matching following team formation in the early spring.
It is important to remember that this is a rolling process.
Who is eligible?
All librarians working within the UMD Libraries are eligible to work with a team. Unfortunately, graduate students assistants or fellows are not eligible. Staff members will be considered based on experience and expertise the same as librarians. Previous experience working in a research capacity with undergraduate students is important.
Importantly, despite the often high representation of STEM-based projects, all librarians are welcome to help! The support these teams need is often with general resources and research help including organization, writing, and use of library resources.
