This is a developing database of individuals who have made their mark in library and information science in Canada. The purpose of the database is to present the most significant facts about the personal and professional life of each of those listed and to identify useful sources of further information. Reference is made to the location of personal papers with links provided to other electronic resources.

The brief, pertinent biographies about prominent Canadian persons in the field of library and information science may include personal facts; significant information on education, careers, publications, honours, awards, accomplishments, or association work; and comments by contemporaries. Inclusion of sources provides readers with further references on an individual.

ELA members can contribute to the project in a number of ways: by writing biographical entries, by suggesting improvements to the database, by correcting erroneous information, by adding biographical material already in the database.

We welcome contributions to this project; for details on how to participate please contact the chair of the Ex Libris Biography Project Committee at the address below.
