Réunion automnale / Fall Meeting 2016 BAnQ Rosemont
Fall Meeting : Thank you to all who attended the Fall meeting last November 18th at BAnQ Rosemont! The meeting was a great success, with 24 members in attendance. Following our meeting we had the chance to visit the impressive conservation and digitization workshops at BAnQ. The afternoon’s activities concluded with a fascinating look into the world of map librarianship, with two presentations on the evolution of cartographic representation of New France.
-
MOQDOC : During the Fall meeting we discussed our financial situation and the need to either increase our revenues or reduce our costs. The question of whether we should continue to print the MOQDOC, or to only release it as a digital publication was raised. While a decision was not yet made on this,  we will be sending around a survey in early January to gather your thoughts on this issue. In the meantime,  please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions or concerns.

Nominating Committee : We are still looking for two members to serve on the nominating committee. The nominating committee is responsible for finding candidates to fill vacant positions on the executive committee and coordinating elections when necessary. The mandate is for one year, and can be renewed the following year. It is a great way to get involved in ARLIS MOQ and to connect with other members! Please contact arlismoq@gmail.com if you are interested.
