- Summary:
-
This paper provides an update on the status of library systems development in Canada and describes the new initiatives which the National Library is undertaking cooperatively with other institutions to facilitate the development of a nationwide decentralized bibliographic communication network. In order to place current network initiatives and the leadership role of the National Library in perspective, the highlights of library automation in Canada over the last two decades are reviewed. The role of the National Library in network development is then recounted, with emphasis on the various task groups which have taken part in specific activities. The characteristics and differences between closed and open library/information networks are also discussed, and major steps which have been taken toward implementation of a decentralized Canadian library network are outlined, and the importance of specific committees and interest groups in network implementation is stressed.
