Abstract
En 中文
Mentoring plays a critical role in professional growth and career development within libraries, yet its importance is often underestimated-particularly in technical services. The discussion addresses challenges faced by individuals pursuing technical services careers, such as limited visibility in library and information science programs and the need for specialized guidance. Practical considerations for designing and sustaining effective mentoring programs are provided, including recruitment, assessment, and program evolution.
