Abstract
The Australian Library & Information Association (ALIA) offers transitional mentoring programs for new library and information professionals to ease the transition from student to professional librarian. In a comparative study, a survey was used to evaluate the participants in two examples of transitional mentoring. In one program, mentees joined on graduation. Participants met as a group which determined the topics developed. In the second program, the mentees joined midway through their university studies, were paired with a mentor and prepared their program independently. It was found that participants had a high level of satisfaction with the programs and both reported positive career, learning and personal development outcomes.
