Instructions

Please submit your proposals with as much detail as possible, but do not worry if your ideas are not
completely developed!

further clarify your project idea, please email them to lifc@ssmu.ca!

About the fund

The fund is made possible through student fees, which are matched by alumni donors each year. It is
overseen by the Students’ Society of McGill University (SSMU) and the Library Improvement Fund
Committee (LIFC), and it works to ensure that the McGill Library meets undergraduate students’
most important needs. Previous projects that the LIF has funded include extended opening hours,
the expansion of a laptop lending program, and student jobs at the library.
