Abstract
In the fall of 2022, the co-authors were fortunate to be paired with one another in the MLA mentor/mentee program, Colleague Connection. Michelle, the mentor, had recently started a position as a hospital librarian and was reconnecting with her past experiences as a nursing liaison while also quickly embracing allied health liaison responsibilities. Jenn is a liaison to the allied health fields at her institution. Upon discovering this overlap, and their shared membership in NAHRS, they thought it would be informative to learn more about the liaison work of the caucus as a whole. Michelle thought it would be a nice program outcome to put together a survey, analyze the results, and share with the caucus. This would provide Jenn, the mentee, with the chance to work on a research project in a non-pressure inducing space with guidance and support from an on-hand mentor. As an early career librarian, Jenn had limited experience in research. Through our partnership, Jenn was able to receive hands-on guidance for taking a project from question development, to survey design, to analysis, to results dissemination. We hope the findings provide an insight into our caucus membership and the experiences of nursing and allied health liaisons.
