The Australian Law Librarians’ Association (ALLA) invites experienced law librarians to serve as mentors to assist with the QUT online course, Law Librarianship: Legal Research, which will run from 29 September – 24 November 2015. We would like to have a number of mentors who can assist and support the course participants (protégés) with their learning as they are introduced to and become familiar with the range of legal research topics.

The study program will include a series of online meeting 6.00pm -8.00pm AEST on Tuesdays) using Blackboard Collaborate, and a range of independent learning activities. There will also be a Facebook site to support informal communication in the learning community.

An overview of the course, which will be coordinated by Dr Gillian Hallam, Adjunct Professor at QUT, is provided in the attached document.
