Abstract

What do we mean by mentoring? What exactly do law librarian mentors do? What are the traits of a good law library mentor? Clearly, mentorship has a variety of meanings, and these questions can be answered in numerous ways. I certainly have my own ideas about mentorship based on my personal experiences with mentors. By sharing some of my experiences I hope to shed some light on the topic of mentorship. I will use my impressions of my former boss and mentor Nancy P. Johnson, Associate Dean for Library and Information Services and Professor of Law at the Georgia State University College of Law Library, to illustrate my examples.
