It is with great sadness today that IAMSLIC reflects on the life of Caroyln Winn, our founding mother, who passed away Saturday, September 21, 2019 at the age of 92.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1975, Carolyn Winn, the newly-hired\nlibrarian at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI), and Jane\nFessenden, librarian at the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL), sponsored the\nfirst meeting of marine science librarians from the east coast of the US and\nCanada. This was the birth of the International Association of Aquatic and\nMarine Science Libraries and Information Centers (IAMSLIC).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founder, 1975, editor journal 1989-90,\nIAMSLIC president 1982-83<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carolyn is fondly remembered by this\norganisation. Barbara Butler, librarian at the Oregon Institute of Marine\nBiology, remembers how Carolyn once rented a red-convertible with a friend at a\nconference in Hawaii and toured around the island, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I think this action gives\nus an insight into the fun-loving free spirit she was!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d a work\/play balance is\nimportant and she understood this. Lisa Raymond, librarian at Woods Hole\nOceanographic Institution (WHOI), recalls that Carolyn was her first boss when\nshe started at WHOI in 1984 and that she was \u00e2\u20ac\u0153a wonderful mentor, a true\nprofessional.  I remember seeing all the time and effort she put into\nIAMSLIC – particularly the Directory. She was the first professionally trained\nlibrarian hired by WHOI and her title was Research Librarian.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This organisation will forever be indebted to\nCarolyn Winn. Since that first meeting in 1975, we have developed into a\nthriving international community and we have Carolyn to thank for that. She was\nhighly accomplished in her career and IAMSLIC benefitted from this great bank\nof knowledge. In just over two weeks\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 time we will once again share our\nsuccess, failures, challenges, and strategies that make up the story and\nhistory of IAMSLIC at our 45th<\/sup> International\nIAMSLIC Conference in Port Aransas, Texas. We will remember Carolyn at this\nupcoming conference and will raise a glass in her honour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our heartfelt condolences are with her family, friends and colleagues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visiting hours for Carolyn P. Winn will be held at the Avery-Storti Funeral Home, 88 Columbia Street, Wakefield, RI\u00c2\u00a0 02879 on Saturday, October 5, 2019 from 3-5pm.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 Condolences may be made online at:\u00c2\u00a0www.averystortifuneralhome.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
