May 6, 2022

Congratulations to members of the Canadian library and information management community being recognized this year as Movers and Shakers by Library Journal for providing inspiration and model programs for others.

Jessie Loyer Movers and Shakers Category: Advocates Current Position: Librarian and Associate Professor, Mount Royal University Degree: MLIS, First Nations Curriculum Concentration, University of British Columbia Loyer says one early-career experience in Vancouver helped shape her. When she was an archival intern at Tsawwassen First Nation, she assisted in the First Fish Ceremony marking the beginning of the salmon run. “For Indigenous librarians, our work is always, at its core, about allowing our people to thrive, whether that’s creating a metadata scheme or filleting fish.”

Lorisia MacLeod Movers and Shakers Category: Advocates Current Position: Learning Services Librarian, Alberta Library / Chair, Canadian Federation of Library Associations (CFLA) Degree: MLIS, University of Alberta School of Library and Information Studies Initially hesitant to pursue librarianship, Lorisia MacLeod realized early in her career that the field would allow her to combine her interests in leadership, information, people, and advocacy—and has found ample opportunity to incorporate them all.
