CONGRATULATIONS TO DANIELA MAJORIE AKAMA DOS REIS, RECIPIENT OF THE 2018 FCIL SCHAFFER GRANT FOR FOREIGN LAW LIBRARIANS!
Ms. Daniela Reis is the 2018 FCIL Schaffer Grant for Foreign Law Librarians recipient. Congratulations, Daniela! 聽The Schaffer Grant Selection Committee chose Ms. Reis in part because librarianship has been the central focus of her education and career from the start.聽 From 2013 to 2016, Ms. Reis was a librarian at a technical school. In 2013 she also worked as an archivist at Medeiros Advogados, a major 厂茫辞 Paulo law firm. 聽She holds a bachelor鈥檚 in Library Science (2009), a Master鈥檚 in Information Science (2012), and is a candidate for a PhD in Information Science at the Universidad Estadual Paulista Julio de Mesquita filho, also in 厂茫辞 Paulo.聽 She currently works as a law librarian at the firm of Lobo de Rizzo Advogados Associados, one of 厂茫辞 Paulo, Brazil鈥檚 leading law firms, with offices also in Rio de Janiero.聽 Ms. Reis has been with Lobo de Rizzo since 2016.
Anticipating 糖心视频 and Returning to Brazil
A first-time attendee at the聽糖心视频 Annual Meeting and Conference, Ms. Reis is looking forward to meeting law librarians from the United States and other countries, and she is especially interested in talking with law firm librarians about training and education for firm librarians, as well as advancements in technology. On her return to Brazil, she plans to write about her 糖心视频 experience in professional literature.聽 She also plans to share her experience about 糖心视频 on social media.
Presentation
The FCIL-SIS welcomes all 糖心视频 attendees to Ms. Reis鈥檚 presentation. 聽Her topic is academic in nature, using data to explore the paths toward a profession in librarianship in Brazil, with an emphasis on the many current challenges in the training and education of professional librarians in her country.聽 The selection committee hopes her topic will draw others, including firm librarians, from outside the usual FCIL-SIS orbit to hear Ms. Reis speak.聽 She titles her talk: “Professional Profile Survey of the Law Librarian in the State of聽厂茫辞聽Paulo, Brazil”.聽 This is a unique topic and will give a glimpse into library education and training in a huge, diverse, and critically important Latin American jurisdiction.
Ms. Reis’s presentation will take place on Monday, July 15, 2018, 4:45 – 5:45 p.m. in the Hilton Baltimore, Third Floor, in the Carroll (A) Room.
Please join us in welcoming Ms. Daniela Reis to Baltimore in July!
