Things to do in St. John’s: The Rooms
Come and ask your indexing questions at the ISC/SCI Annual Conference 2023 … and check out The Rooms.
The Rooms is Newfoundland and Labrador’s largest public cultural space—full of history, heritage, and art.
“The Rooms’ unique design mirrors the fishing rooms where families came together to process their catch.”
What is a fishing room? “[It’s] a reference to the simple gable-roofed sheds (called ‘fishing rooms’) that were once so common at the waterline in Newfoundland fishing villages.”
And that’s why they named the building the ‘The Rooms”!
“This building, like the collections and exhibitions it houses, represents a tribute to our people and a place in which to preserve our history and culture for generations to come.”
Getting to The Rooms is a 15-minute walk (200 feet or 62 meters uphill) from our conference venue, the Murray Premises Hotel.
The conference takes place in St. John’s, Newfoundland June 9–10. Learn more about the conference at conference.indexers.ca. #IndexCanCon2023
Conference 2023: The Venue
ISC/SCI is pleased to announce that Conference 2023 will be held at the Murray Premises Hotel in St. John’s, Newfoundland.
The hotel is located in the Murray Premises National Historic Site on the St. John’s waterfront. The site, which comprises three buildings, is typical of the type of commercial buildings that used to line the waterfront in the seafaring and fishery days. These buildings were constructed in 1846 to accommodate offices and warehouses.
The hotel has rooms radiating character through exposed 19th century wooden beams, contemporary furnishings and luxurious touches. Atmosphere is paired with a prime location: minutes’ walk from restaurants, quaint shops, Mile One Centre and St. John’s Convention Centre.
Special rates are available to conference attendees 5 days before and 5 days after the conference event. Visit the conference page for details.

And if you book ahead, you can purchase the opportunity to fire the noon day gun!
Signal Hill is 3.1 km from our conference venue at Murray Premises Hotel. For more information and directions to the visitor’s centre, visit the Signal Hill home page.
The conference in St. John’s takes place June 9 and 10, 2023. Visit the conference website.

ISC/SCI and a Mastodon Account
The Society has accounts on several social media sites: Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. We publish brief bits of news about the Society, often with links back to our website.
Recent events have caused significant numbers of people to leave Twitter. Many of them have gone to Mastodon.
After canvassing the executive committee, and with their agreement, we are now signed up on mstdn.ca. We are @IndexersCanada@mstdn.ca.
If you are on Mastodon, please follow us!
2022 Diversity in Canadian Publishing Bursary Award: Tanvi Mohile
The Indexing Society of Canada / Société canadienne d’indexation (ISC/SCI) is pleased to announce that Tanvi Mohile is the 2022 ISC/SCI Diversity in Canadian Publishing Bursary Award recipient.
Tanvi Mohile is a PhD Candidate in the Department of English and Film Studies (EFS) at the University of Alberta (U of A) in Edmonton. She was born and raised in Mumbai, India, and she moved to Edmonton in 2018. She has a Bachelors in Microbiology and a Masters in English Literature.
Tanvi’s love for words and books began at an early age, and she hopes to work in publishing after the completion of her degree. She has previously worked as an academic editor and a lecturer in Mumbai. At the U of A, Tanvi was the first intern to work at the University of Alberta Press under EFS’ PhD Concentration in Editing and Publishing. Over the four terms of her internship, she learned the nuances of scholarly publishing, which further intensified her interest in the field. Since completing her internship, Tanvi has worked on several projects as part of research assistantships, the most recent of which involved editing a book manuscript and creating an index for it. This was Tanvi’s first experience with indexing and led to her interest in developing the skill further.
Currently, Tanvi is engaged in research centering around authorship practices on online writing platforms as part of her PhD. Her research interacts with several fields, including book history, publishing studies, authorship studies, and fandom studies.
She is also the co-founder of Drafted Editorial Services, which offers editing and proofreading services in various disciplines, including the humanities and social sciences, economics, and management. When not working on her research or freelance business, Tanvi loves spending time with her husband and young son, playing with her cat, reading, watching films, and visiting cafes.
With this bursary, ISC/SCI aims to help achieve equality of opportunity for aspiring indexers belonging to underrepresented and/or marginalized groups. The bursary covers fees for an approved indexing program, two years of ISC/SCI membership with listing, and entry into the Mary Newberry Mentorship program.
In addition, a six 6-month trial membership was awarded to Jules Sherred from Duncan, BC.
