A call for participants is made through ARLIS-L after the first of the year and applications are submitted to facilitate the matching of pairs with similar interests and time commitment requirements. Participation in a mandatory 4 hour workshop at the annual conference gives mentors and mentees the tools needed to create and maintain a successful relationship. Members of the Task Force monitor the mentoring pairs throughout the year to advise and trouble-shoot if needed. The Task Force's report can be found as "Mentorship Task Force Report, Professional Development Committee, ARLIS/NA" Art Documentation v. 24, no. 2 (2005), p. 49-56.In order to facilitate optimal matching of mentor/mentee pairs, a short application form is required prior to the annual conference, found at: http://www.uflib.ufl.edu/afa/pdc/mentoringform.htm.
