contents	Mentoring the Next Generation of Library Media Specialists Meloni, Christine School Libraries Librarians Library Education Mentors Internship Programs With the new state requirements, many library media specialist students will be required to complete an internship that is more like the traditional student-teaching program. To obtain certification, in addition to their coursework, they may have to complete over 300 hours in a library media center classroom setting. For many students, especially those from outside the field of education, success as a library media specialist is directly related to what is mastered during the internship service. Without the opportunity to work with a mentor who can be a teacher and coach, an ongoing struggle with the core issues of library media center service may result. On the other hand, an intern will be forever benefited by a mentor who is enthusiastic and passionate about the craft of librarianship. By becoming a cooperating teacher, a library media specialist can help the next generation of library media specialists master the skills they will need to be successful. In this article, the author discusses the three stages of mentoring process: (1) instructor; (2) coach; and (3) colleague. She also provides suggestions that will help to ensure a positive experience for the mentor and the mentee.
