Electronic access to Canadian federal government information: how prepared are the depository libraries? : Report to Depository Services Program, Canadian Government Publishing, Public Works and Government...: P63-8/1998

The recent rapid expansion of electronic publication and dissemination of federal government information in Canada has led the DSP to fund the first extensive examination of the state of readiness of depository libraries to adopt the new technologies. In the fall of 1996 researchers at the Graduate School of Library and Information Science, University of Western Ontario undertook a project to investigate the technological capabilities and related services required by depository libraries to provide permanent public access to Canadian federal government information in electronic form. A self-administered questionnaire was sent to all full and selective depositories in Canada and abroad in order to collect both quantitative and qualitative data. Results are based on the analysis of data from 450 completed questionnaires.--Page i
