Who can be a DFW Supervisor/Mentor?
Supervisor/Mentors for Directed Fieldwork should have an MLS/MLIS degree or equivalent. Most of our supervisor/mentors do have their MLIS degree; however, as the professional horizons for information professionals expand, we realize that some potential Supervisor/Mentors may have developed professional expertise via other educational and experiential avenues such as other graduate programs (e.g., computer science, technical communications) or through extensive professional experience. Supervisor/Mentors should have a depth of experience and a strong professional identity as an information professional.
