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,
archives and other
workplaces for a half-day or a day to observe the life
of an Information
Professional at work.

Once again we invite you to participate by setting
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 Helen Katz
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>.

NOTE:  If you cannot participate in the Job Shadowing
this year, you might
want to consider signing up for the Ask an Alum program
at FIS.  For more
detail, see
<http://www.fis.utoronto.ca/people/fisaa/Ask an
Alum.htm>

At the beginning of January, all submitted information
will be transferred
to sign-up sheets and placed at FIS. 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 Wednesday, January 5th. This will give
students a chance to pick
site locations before their Reading Week in February.

If you have any questions about this program, please
