document: HeLIN pilot mentoring scheme The health care libraries unit coordinates , facilitates , and promotes continuing personal development for all staff in the Health Libraries and Information Network -LRB- HeLIN -RRB- of the Oxford Deanery -LRB- UK -RRB- . It supports the development of a culture of lifelong learning and recognizes that CPD should help deliver organizational objectives , as well as enabling all staff to expand and fulfill their potential . A major emphasis for 2000 was to investigate ways of improving support for individual learning within the workplace . The group identified a need to build on existing informal support networks in order to provide additional learning opportunities and decided to investigate the feasibility of piloting a mentoring scheme . The objectives of the pilot were to increase understanding and knowledge of mentoring as a tool for CPD ; to investigate existing mentoring schemes and their applicability for HeLIN ; to develop a pilot mentoring scheme for HeLIN incorporating a program for accreditation of mentors ; and to evaluate the scheme and disseminate the results . In order to identify current practice in this area , a literature review was carried out , and colleagues with an interest in or existing knowledge of mentoring schemes were contacted where possible . In the absence of clearly defined appraisal tools , all abstracts were read , and articles that met the following criteria were obtained and distributed to the group for review
