This fund is set up in memory of our young colleague Louis-Mathieu Paquin who left a lasting impression at the University of Ottawa Library, Concordia University Libraries, and University of Alberta Libraries, as well as at the Archiepiscopal Seminary of Salzburg. The proceeds will be used to sponsor a conference hackfest participant to cover that person’s $400 registration fee.
Fund applicants should meet of the following criteria:
– You are a full-registration-paying participant who is a librarian / administrative employee in the first three years of your career (in any type of library);
– You were not already fully funded by your institution to attend the conference (you may be travelling on your professional development funding or had partial funding).
Applicants: If you meet the above criteria, as outlined, click “Yes” for Louis-Mathieu Paquin Memorial Fund I am new to the profession (1-3 years) and am attending Hackfest. The draw for the registration fee coverage will happen at the Access Conference.
