LIS 6409 INTRODUCTION TO LIBRARY ADMINISTRATION
In this joint endeavor, my partner and I pinpointed a potential project within the Special Collections department of a public library. We formulated a comprehensive proposal aimed at resolving the challenges associated with preserving and providing access to two specific special collections. The proposal encompasses a thorough analysis of the problems and corresponding solutions, as well as the necessary resources, project collaborators, and evaluation methods to be employed upon project culmination. Additionally, a detailed budget and timeline have been incorporated into the proposal.

CO-CURRICULAR: UNIVERS CULTUREL DE SAINT-SULPICE
In June 2013, I participated in the celebrations of the 125th anniversary of the Canadian Pontifical College in Rome. The college was established by the Sulpicians in 1888 to provide a space for ecclesiastics seeking to further their education in Rome. During the occasion, my supervisor and I attended a conference held by the Canadian Pontifical College to discuss a collection of rare books that were sent to the Sulpicians in Montreal at the beginning of the 21st century. Upon my return, I created a Commemorative Journal that included some of the artifacts mentioned during the conference.
