Library Improvement Fund Proposal Form Fall 2020
Do you have an idea that can improve McGill Libraries for undergraduate students? Submit a proposal below to be considered by the Library Improvement Fund Committee!

For over twenty years, the Library Improvement Fund (LIF) has ensured that McGill undergraduate students have access to the highest quality library facilities and resources. The fund, overseen by the Students’ Society of McGill University (SSMU) and the Library Improvement Fund Committee (LIFC), works to ensure that the McGill Library meets students’ most important needs. It is comprised of over half of a million dollars, raised through student fees and an equal amount matched by alumni donors each year.

The LIFC accepts proposals pertaining to the following library branches:  the Humanities and Social Sciences Library, the Rare Books and Special Collections, the Islamic Studies Library, the Education Curriculum Resource Centre, the Nahum Gelber Law Library, the Birks Reading Room, and the Marvin Durchow Music Library. Proposals may be submitted by any members of the McGill community as long as the projects directly improve undergraduate students' experiences with McGill Libraries.

Please submit your proposals with as much detail as possible, but do not worry if your idea or answers are not completely fleshed out. We want to hear your honest thoughts and ideas!

The LIFC is available to assist with the development of proposals and liaising with parties both inside and outside of McGill. Submissions are accepted until November 9, 11:59PM EST for the fall allocation period.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Library Improvement Fund Commissioner at lifc@ssmu.ca.
