"Student Life Fund" - updates
Read more on the SIS Wiki about major changes to student fee collection & the issues this is currently raising for the future of MLISSA funding.
Feb 2012: An Ad-Hoc Committee on Student Life Funding has been formed with representatives from the student body and is actively reviewing options.
Mandate
The mandate of McGill's Library and Information Studies Student Association is:
"To co-ordinate the activities of the students of the McGill Graduate School of Library and Information Studies and to ensure representation of student interests in the school, in the university, and in the library and information profession."
We are here to represent your interests and help you enjoy your time as a SIS student.
Keep an eye out for your representatives around the school and feel free to approach us with questions, ideas and any concerns you may have.
MLISSA holds elections every fall and spring for positions specific to MLIS I, II, and PhDs. When the elections come around, don't be shy. Let yourself be heard by running for a position on the council!

Grants
In past years, MLISSA awarded grants to SIS student groups planning events for the student body. Each group was eligible for up to $150 in funding from MLISSA.
NOTE: THE MLISSA BUDGET HAS NOT YET BEEN APPROVED DUE TO MAJOR CHANGES IN FUNDING LEVELS as approved by a PGSS referendum last year. The MLISSA grant program is not guaranteed for this year. In the meantime, student groups are strongly encouraged to investigate PGSS Grants for student group event funding.
