Growing Our Own: Mentoring Undergraduate Students

With limited resources available, the authors' Library successfully piloted a Library Internship Program to manage business program growth and rising demand from business students for research assistance. A business student serving as a library intern collaborated with the business librarian, faculty, and students to develop Web-based tutorials for core business assignments and was trained to provide peer tutoring. The student-librarian relationship developed into a mentorship, resulting in shared professional development opportunities and a potential way of recruiting business students to the library profession.
