FUMSI Citation for Mose Useful Article Awarded at Online Information
2007
Award celebrates Free Pint Limited's 10th anniversary of practical
publishing.
Free Pint Limited has announced the winner of the FUMSI Citation for
Most Useful Article, presented in conjunction with the company's
celebration of its 10th year of publishing. The award was announced at
the recent Online Information 2007 exhibition in London.
Nominations were received through mid-November and named many of the
eligible articles -- those published in the FreePint Newsletter
between December 2006 and September 2007. FreePint editors reviewed
the nominations and selected Heather Carine's article, 'Mentors and
Mentees: Structuring a Professional Relationship', as the winner.
Carine, an independent information consultant based in Australia, was
not able to accept her award in person. However, her mentor, Amelia
Kassel, was there and able to accept on her behalf. Heather sent
remarks ahead of time for Amelia to share with the crowd assembled for
the announcement.
Heather said: 'I am delighted, and honoured, to be awarded the FUMSI
Citation from Free Pint for my article. I am particularly touched that
Amelia Kassel can accept this award on my behalf, as we were
introduced via FreePint, and our mentoring relationship was the basis
for my article.
'In September 2005, I read an article in the FreePint Newsletter by
Amelia, outlining her mentoring program for independent information
professionals. Amelia and I live on opposite sides of the world and
haven't met, but her mentoring and careful guidance was the step that
I needed to move into a new role as a freelance researcher.
'In late 2006 when I saw an opportunity to become involved in a
mentoring program by the South Australian Branch of the Australian
Information and Library Association, I jumped at the chance. Having
recent experience as a mentee helped me to move into the role as a
mentor, with some idea as to the expectations of the mentor and
mentee.
'I was very pleased to share my experience as a mentee and mentor with
a broader audience through FreePint, particularly as FreePint had been
pivotal in introducing me to my mentor.'
Heather receives a one-year subscription to VIP magazine http://www.vivaVIP.com/, and the individuals who nominated her
article will receive a one-year subscription to FUMSI
