Subject: [sla-ctor] FIS Job Shadowing Program 2004

apologies for cross-posting


Faculty of Information Studies, University of Toronto
Job Shadowing Program

Sponsored By:
FIS Alumni Association

For several years now many of you have responded enthusiastically to our
request for mentors for our Shadowing Program. This annual event takes FIS
students, at the University of Toronto into libraries, information centres
and archives for a half-day or a day to observe the life of an Information
Professional at work.

Once again we invite you to participate, to set aside a few hours to show
one or more students the ropes. You can provide students with valuable
insight into professional practice by: having them observe your workplace;
by explaining how your day is organized; by outlining your
responsibilities; and by generally giving them a feel for life on the job.
Hosts from the Greater Toronto Area are especially encouraged to submit a
posting.

This is how it works. If you wish to participate you can either:
a)      Complete the form below and email it to Tracey Palmer at
[log in to unmask]; or
b)      Complete the form below and mail (see address below); or
c)      Fill out an electronic form on the FIS Alumni Association's Job
Shadowing page on the FIS website at
http://www.fis.utoronto.ca/people/fisaa/fisaa8.htm.

At the end of January all submitted information will be transferred to
signup sheets and placed in the FIS office. Students can then sign up for
a site visit that matches their career interests. It will be the
responsibility of the students to then contact the host of their choice.

Together, the student and host will arrange the visit at a mutually
convenient time. Hosts from other cities, for example, may find that their
student may not be free to visit until the summer.

Please note that the last day to submit a form for participation in the
program, is Friday, January 31st. This is so that students will have a
chance to pick site locations before their reading week.

If you have any questions about this program, please contact Tracey Palmer
