What is a peer research mentor?

Peer Research Mentors are students who assist their peers with academic research projects, helping them navigate library resources, develop research strategies, and improve their information literacy skills. They often receive specialized training in research methods and serve as approachable guides for students needing support. Peer Research Mentors typically work in academic libraries or learning centers and collaborate closely with librarians and faculty. Their goal is to empower students to become more confident and independent researchers.

To thrive as a Peer Research Mentor, you need strong research skills, subject matter expertise, and experience with academic writing or research projects, often supported by advanced study or training in a relevant field. Familiarity with research databases, reference management tools (like Zotero or EndNote), and institutional research protocols is typically required. Excellent communication, active listening, and mentorship abilities help build rapport and foster an encouraging learning environment for mentees.
