ADA FACHE FUND – Established in 1995 7.1 Background Ada Fache (1918–1994) was a stalwart of the library profession. She commenced work as an assistant at Dunedin Public Library in 1937. Except for two years as Librarian at Rangiora Public Library during the war, the remainder of her career was spent at Dunedin culminating in her appointment as City Librarian in 1960 - (only the second woman to hold this position in a metropolitan library). Miss Fache was one of the first group in 1946 to pass the General Training Certificate (later known as the NZLA Certificate, which then became the NZ Library Studies Certificate). Throughout her career she retained a strong interest in library education, encouraging many in a practical way to obtain library qualifications. Her retirement at 50, prompted by a wish to make way for a new generation of librarians with professional qualifications, was typical of her generous approach. However her interest in the work of the Association continued, with Miss Fache regularly attending Otago/Southland Region meetings and other library functions. In her will Miss Fache left the Association a bequest of "one-twentieth of her estate for general purposes". The then NZLIA National Council felt that such a selfless bequest should not be lost in the general fund, and agreed to use the bequest as seeding for a fund, the interest for which would provide an award or awards to assist with an individual's, or individuals' continuing professional development. Such a fund was established in 1995. 7.2 Purpose of Award 7.2.1 Provide a personal member/s of LIANZA, whose application best meets the criteria, with some assistance towards their professional development. 7.3 The Award 7.3.1 An award (or awards) will be offered annually, the amount for each year's award being stated at the time of a call for applications. 7.4 Criteria 7.4.1 Applications in writing should be submitted to the Business Development Manager, LIANZA including: (a) Be a current personal member of LIANZA (b) Have been a personal member for a minimum of three (3) consecutive years since obtaining a library or information management qualification (c) Be working in a situation which can be considered "isolated" 7.4.2 Closing date will be advertised and on the LIANZA website by February each year. 7.5 Administration of the Fund 7.5.1 Money received from the estate of Ada Fache will be placed in a separate interest-bearing account. 7.5.2 The fund will be added to through donations. 7.5.3 The fund may be supplemented by direct donations (including as a result of any appeals which are specifically held) and/or by the annual transference of any untagged donations received by LIANZA during the year. 7.5.4 Eighty percent (80%) of the interest earned in one year will be available for the Award and 20% will be returned to capital. 7.5.5 Changes to the rules for the award can only be made by the LIANZA National Council. 7.6 Application Procedures 7.6.1 Applications in writing should be submitted to the Business Development Manager, LIANZA including: (a) the nature of applicant's isolation (b) the potential benefits of undertaking continuing professional development (c) details of the proposed use of the award (d) the names and contact details of two referees 7.6.2 The procedures for considering applications will be at Council's discretion and may involve the setting up of a sub-committee for the purpose of considering applications and making recommendations, which Council will consider before making the final decision on the award/s. 7.7 Conditions of the Award 7.7.1 The award/s will be announced at the LIANZA Conference. 7.7.2 The award will need to be taken up within 12 months of the announcement of the award. 7.7.3 Terms for the payment of the award will be negotiated on an individual basis with the successful applicant/s. 7.7.4 The winner/s will be required to prepare a brief written report to Council within three months of the award being uplifted. 7.7.5 The report will describe an aspect of the recipient/s professional life which has developed as a direct result of the award. 7.7.6 This report may subsequently be published in the Association's journal/s, or the recipient/s may be requested to present the report at some appropriate Association meeting or gathering. 8.

After this pioneering work at BP from 1964 to 1970, Paul was invited to lecture at the Library School in information and knowledge management and there he was a formative influence on many who came into the profession at that time. In 1973, he became the Chief Librarian at the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research (DSIR), and pioneered the innovative use of IT in information management. In 1983 he took up the position of Director of the National Library’s Reference and Interloan Services Division – the hub of New Zealand’s inter-library document request and exchange service. In 1985 he was promoted to a new post of second Deputy National Librarian, with particular responsibility for ensuring the design and delivery of the new public access services at the National Library building which opened in Wellington in August 1987. He was a strong supporter of FID and was one of the New Zealand delegates at the International Conference on Library Conservation at Vienna in 1986. The year of his retirement, 1988, saw Paul awarded the NZLIA Fellowship - the highest professional accolade, awarded to those who have made a sustained contribution. In Paul’s case, this included being a foundation Chairman of the Special Libraries Section 1970-3, a member of the NZLA Council 1973-4, the Editor along with his wife Thiam Ch’ng Szentirmay of several editions of DISLIC – the Directory of Special Libraries & Information Services, and the Convenor of the Working Group on Information Transfer from 1975.
