2023 Le Prix Tamarack: Ronnie Seagren

par

La Société canadienne d’indexation / Indexing Society of Canada (SCI/ISC) est heureuse de dévoiler la récipiendaire du prix Tamarack 2023. Il s’agit de Ronnie Seagren (Toronto), en reconnaissance de sa contribution et de son dévouement à l’association.

« Ronnie a été choisie pour son indéfectible dévouement à la Société, son désir de toujours tendre une main secourable et son implication à la diversité et l’inclusion en indexation. »

Voici ce que ses collègues ont à dire sur Ronnie :

« Ronnie apporte beaucoup de travail et de joie a tant de comités dans (et en dehors de!) la SCI/ISC. Cela a été un plaisir de travailler avec elle. »

« Je suis si contente de savoir [Ronnie] choisie comme récipiendaire du prix Tamarack de cette année. C’est vraiment un prix bien mérité. »

« La chaleur de l’esprit de [Ronnie] et son optimistme sont contagieux et font de l’association une meilleure place pour tous. »

« Je suis ravie d’offrir ce prix à Ronnie, nous sommes très honorés de la compter parmi nos membres », ont déclaré Alexandra Peace et Jolanta Komornicka, présidentes de la SCI/ISC, en ajoutant : « Merci, Ronnie, pour tout ce que tu as offert à notre association et à ses membres ».

Le prix Tamarack a été créé en l’honneur des membres qui « vont bien au-delà des attentes exigées par leurs fonctions » dans leur travail de bénévolat pour la Société. Les noms des récipiendaires du prix Tamarack sont en ligne sur le site de la SCI à : https://staging.indexers.ca/fr/isc-awards-2/

Lending Library

We are excited to announce that the ISC/SCI Lending Library is now open!

As of today, May 1st, our ISC/SCI website contains a page for the lending library. You may access it here.

On this page, you will find:

  • a book list;
  • the library policy;
  • and the request form.

Please remember to take the time to review the policy before you submit your request form.

Don’t see a resource that you were hoping to? Email us. We can add it to the list of books we are looking to add to the collection.

Do you have books taking up shelf space that you think would provide great information to your fellow indexers? Email us. We would be grateful to talk you about a possible donation.

Due to cost and copyright laws, this membership benefit is only available to members who reside in Canada.

We are excited to launch this new program and we hope that you are too!

ISC/SCI Members Receive the DReam to Index Scholarship

par

Congratulations to Jess Herdman, Jessica Dee Humphreys, and Wendy Savage of ISC/SCI, Anna Aridome of ISC/SCI and ASI, and Lara Abed of ASI on their win of the DReam to Index Scholarship.

From the DReam to Index team:

The winners will all receive a scholarship to attend indexing conferences. David K. Ream provided invaluable support to indexers, publishers, institutes and corporations, government offices, and the information industry at large. His significant accomplishments continue to have impact for all his clients and all who benefited from his skills and knowledge. He strongly supported the education of those entering the field of indexing and would be proud to know that these new indexers are benefiting from his legacy.

Conference Scholarship

par

ISC/SCI is offering scholarships to three ISC/SCI members to help them attend the conference in St. John’s, Newfoundland, in June 2023. The scholarship will pay the two-day early-bird conference fee. You are eligible to apply if you meet both of these conditions:

  • You live at least 1000 km from St. John’s.
  • You will contribute to the conference by performing just one of these tasks (you choose the task):
    • Write an article about the conference.
    • Generate a list of five questions that can be asked of the general audience at the conference.
    • Help at the registration desk.

Preference will be given to new indexers, then those who have never attended a conference, then everyone else. See the Conference Scholarship page for more information and the submission form. The deadline for applying is March 1, 2023.
