What is the Mentoring Body of Knowledge?

The Mentoring Body of Knowledge Project is the International Mentoring Association's on-going work to identify and codify the vast literature on mentoring and its impact on performance of people and organizations. The work is an on-line data base of about 4,000 bibliographical annotated citations of the most pertinent articles, books, websites, and other resources on mentoring.

The inaugural publication is scheduled to become available on the IMA web site in May or June 2003 as an additional membership benefit.

IMA's Goals for the Mentoring Body of Knowledge

IMA's goals for the MBOK are that:

IMA members will have easy access to the mentoring knowledge base.
IMA members can search the data base for key words and, thereby, increase the usefulness of the MBOK for members
The mentoring knowledge base is a better toll to inform and guide IMA members in mentoring practice and progam level decision making.
The MBOK further positions the IMA as the premier clearinghouse for mentoring assistance and resources.

ADVICE FOR USING THE MBOK

You can search among many fields, such as author, title, etc. HOWEVER, if you wish to search using KEYWORDS, the best way is to:

1. Select "ABSTRACTS" from the"drop down" topics menu.
