The Institute, founded by the National Library of Canada and the Bibliographical Society of Canada, was created as a result of recommendations presented at the Third National Conference on Canadian Bibliography in Charlottetown in June 1992. The course was intended for librarians, literary scholars, historians, graduate students, and others interested in the history of the book in Canada. Offered in English only, the course consisted of lectures, demonstrations and workshops on the techniques of bibliographical analysis. There were also descriptions of Canadian printing of the hand- and machine-press periods. Methods of bibliographical research were presented in the context of historical and textual applications, and standards for imprint, the matic, and author bibliographies were discussed. Topics included paper, typography, illustration, and binding; the use of publishers' records; and software for bibliography. There were also demonstrations and exhibitions at the National Library, the National Archives of Canada, and the National Museum of Science and Technology. The program was directed by Patricia Fleming of the University of Toronto's Faculty of Library and Information Studies, and coordinated by Gwynneth Evans, Director of External Relations at the National Library. Instructors and lecturers came from institutions in Ottawa, Toronto, Montreal, Hamilton and Fredericton, and those who attended also came from different parts of Canada. Following are comments from three of them. >From Dr. Robert E. Brundin, Professor, School of Library and Information Studies, University of Alberta, Edmonton The well-organized sessions, efficiently coordinated by Dr. Patricia Fleming of the Faculty of Library and Information Science, University of Toronto, presented a wealth of material useful to the beginning as well as to the experienced bibliographer. I found a great deal of the information extremely relevant to two courses which I teach, "Canadian Materials" and "Special Collections Librarianship". The sessions on title page transcription, ornamental types, paper identification, imprint bibliography, collation, typography, book illustration, and binding description were particularly useful to me. It was for me a rare opportunity to investigate these areas under the tutelage of national experts in these fields. Another highlight of the workshop was the opportunity to visit the Conservation and Treatment Laboratory of the National Library of Canada. The tours were conducted in small groups so that all could observe the various activities taking place, and the staff of the Laboratory did an excellent job of demonstrating and explaining the different conservation and restoration treatments they were performing. A morning-long visit to the Canadian Museum of Science and Technology to view the exhibits on printing technology provided a refreshing break in the routine of classroom attendance. It was a rare opportunity to see examples of printing equipment used in Canada over the past two centuries, and to see a master printer demonstrate how this equipment was and is used. "Analytical Bibliography for Canadian Studies" proved to be one of the most interesting and informative workshops I have attended in my 35 years as a librarian and library educator. It provided an excellent in-depth study of a subject seldom covered in terms of in-service opportunities made available in our field. I wish to thank the Bibliographical Society of Canada and the National Library of Canada for making it possible. >From Jennifer J. Connor, Hannah Postdoctoral Fellow, History of Medicine, Health Sciences Centre, McMaster University, Hamilton Having studied analytical bibliography in graduate-level courses, I was immediately attracted to the course on "Analytical Bibliography for Canadian Studies" for the unusual opportunity it afforded of learning about Canadian publications with recognized Canadian experts at an important Canadian institution, the National Library. This sounds nationalistic, but is meant sincerely, for university courses on the topic are usually sweeping in nature, and often lack much hands-on experience. This week-long course, sponsored jointly by the Bibliographical Society of Canada and the National Library, in fact more than lived up to expectations raised by its announcement. Professor Fleming led the program very strongly with full-day lectures on paper, typography, and title-page transcription. Other speakers included Sandra Alston, Joyce Banks, Jim Burant, Judy Donnelly, Yvan Lamonde, Eric Swanick, and Bruce Whiteman. Daytime lectures ranged from book production to preparing a regional or author bibliography, and evenings provided ample opportunity for preparing bibliographical descriptions of a sample collection of books published over three centuries. Participants visibly enjoyed discovering their own examples of ornamental types, watermarks, types of paper and binding, unusual collational formats, and so on. We were joined every evening by instructors, including Anne Dondertman and Elaine Hoag, who circulated informally among us for help with bibliographical analyses. An unexpected bonus for me was the calibre of the participants themselves. Many had experience or knowledge of a particular facet of analytical bibliography and attended to learn more -- either to provide background to their own work in the area, or to improve on it. Their enthusiasm led to greater interaction, and they shared ideas, during classes, evening workshops, and breaks. On the whole, this course -- especially as a first offering -- was highly successful from my view as participant. It refreshed my memory on points forgotten, introduced me to new people and bibliographical work, and gave me greater confidence in my own knowledge of the subject. As a result, I hope it will help in my work on the history of medical publishing in Canada. I was especially pleased with the place of meeting, for it confirmed my initial feeling that the National Library was the ideal venue for su ch a course. Of course, some minor aspects of the course can be improved upon, but the organizers even allowed for this possibility by seeking course feedback from participants. I'm sure the next offering will be even better. >From Lillian Rider, Reference Department, McLennan Library, McGill University, Montreal Sponsored by the Bibliographical Society of Canada and the National Library, the Institute was billed as "A Summer Course." Sounds idyllic. It was, for anyone with a genuine interest in, and commitment to, bibliography. Classes, all day every day, were followed by practice sessions and discussions in the evenings. Patricia Fleming, of the Faculty of Library and Information Science, University of Toronto, and one of Canada's foremost bibliographers, blazed the trail and carried the instructional load with presentations on the basics -- title page transcription, ornamental types; paper making and identification; format; collation; typography; binding; and editions, impressions and states. The Canadian aspects of analytical bibliography were illustrated by regional or topical presentations which complemented the nitty- gritty details.... Organized tours were arranged to the Rare Book Collection at the National Library, the Conservation and Treatment Laboratory at the National Archives, and the Canadian Museum of Science and Technology. It was a busy week. As a course, the Institute was excellent. The timetable was logical and well designed but also allowed for flexibility. The sessions were dynamic and well prepared. There was always time for questions and discussions. As the week progressed, the tours provided a welcome change of pace. A number of aids were provided to assist the learning process. One was a collection of all the items on the reading list. Another was a practice collection, a sampling of books participants could use to try their hands at ti tle page transcription, paper analysis, collation, etc. These had been graded as to difficulty and provided excellent examples of features that had been discussed in the lectures. The facilities at the National Library were very good and comfortable although a little snug for the size of the group. The souvenir mugs given to all participants were a nice touch, as well as demonstrating environmental consciousness. Also appreciated were the variety and quality of "goodies" provided for the breaks. In all respects, the week was a great success. The sponsors and organizers are to be heartily congratulated. Subsequent institutes (surely, they will continue) will have a hard act to follow .. ********** SPEAKING FROM...EXTERNAL RELATIONS by Gwynneth Evans, Director, External Relations As we move towards the end of the twentieth century, there is consensus on one all-encompassing issue: the predominance of change in the lives of individuals and organizations. Almost imperceptibly, we have all reached the same conclusion: the only constant is change. If this generalization about change is valid, we can then ask the interesting and controversial questions: what impact will it have and how will we be able to shape our collective and individual futures? How many of our basic assumptions about social organization will remain tenable? Must we re-examine all our basic tenets? And if we think it necessary to prepare for constant and rapid change, how will our institutions and nations navigate the rough seas between continuity and discontinuity? What lodestars will guide our thinking and our actions? Such questions, and many others, are the stuff of current discussion, debate and documents. During its fortieth year, the National Library and its Friends inaugurated a lecture series to stimulate discussion on the questions facing Canadians. By selecting Robert Fulford as the first lecturer, we welcomed someone who had thought deeply about the role of the library as the cultural institution responsible "for organizing memory and exploring its uses". According to Fulford, "A library embodies...the peculiar needs that mark us as human: the need to recall experience, the need to organize what we know, and the need to search for meaning. And I would add a fourth..., the need to develop a context in which to think about the future." Fulford warned of the consequences of ignoring memory -- of turning our backs on the study of the past. Just a week before the first National Library Lecture, Library staff members had mounted a booth at "Word on the Street" in Toronto. This one-day book fair brings together publishers, booksellers, literacy groups, libraries and members of the public to promote and celebrate both reading and books. Four staff members worked from 10:00 a.m. until late in the afternoon, answering questions, selling posters and promoting this year's Read Up On It kit, "Bring a Legend to Life". And the comment they heard most often was "Oh, I didn't know we had a national library -- where is it and what does it do?" There are probably many reasons why Canadians do not know about their National Library. Some of those reasons can probably be attributed to the decisions of the institution itself; others are likely to be quite predictable. But one reason, I believe, is that the national libraries which are best known did not begin their lives as "national libraries". If proportionately more Americans know about the Library of Congress and Britons are familiar with the British Museum (from which the British Library was formed in 1973), it is because the institutions' large and varied collections and their stature as historic monuments and places of scholarship have ensured their places in the cultural lives of their countries. Moreover, libraries like the Library of Congress, the British Museum and the BibliothŠque nationale of France were built for the purposes that Fulford identified: over many centuries, they have collected varied records and accounts not only of their own citizens, but also documents on what individuals and groups of every society have done, and why. Currency, stamps, prints, drawings, films, videos, newspapers, photographs, manuscripts and more have been preserved to provide evidence for those who, like Fulford, insist on the importance of memory and the study of history as a civilizing and humanizing ingredient of life. National libraries, and others, have assumed an international responsibility, worldwide in scope, for gathering, organizing, preserving and making available all sorts of records as the basis for reflection, decision, action, creation and enjoyment. If the National Library of Canada's scope has been more circumscribed than the range of activities undertaken by other libraries, the institution nevertheless understands its role within the same precepts. It attempts to gather, organize, promote, and make available, for use now and in the future, Canada's published heritage, as comprehensively as possible. Many forms of this heritage -- books, pamphlets, newspapers, magazines, sound recordings and compact disks, videos, sheet music, materials from every part of Canada and in every language and format -- are welcomed and given a home. And this scope of the collections is not limited to commercial products; it extends to the works and products of educational institutions, associations and societies, cooperatives and private individuals. These works are the result of the Canadian memory, and stimulate the creation of other works that will, in turn, become part of our nation. Along with the artifacts and records held by our sister national institutions, the National Library's collections help us to define who we are and what kind of a society we wish to become. In organizing, preserving, promoting and sharing these materials, the Library is acting in the national interest. And in acting as a catalyst and participant in the production of pub lications, videos, CDs and other works, the National Library of Canada is contributing to the nation's development. The National Library of Canada's particular purview is Canada. While that fact, along with its relative youth, may make the institution less well known than other national libraries, it in no sense diminishes the significance of its role, even when change is constant. Indeed, some would argue that our emphasis on Canada strengthens the raison d'ˆtre for our development and our links with other libraries. With the speed and complexity of technological change, national institutions face difficult and fascinating challenges. How can we best use technologies to make information accessible to citizens, whoever and wherever they are and whenever they need it? As more and more information and knowledge are created (or converted into) in machine-readable form, how will we seize and stabilize the data for future use and interpretation? Is the inundation of masses of ephemeral information from a myriad of sources one of the reasons that we seem to be losing our cultural memory? It is clear, at any rate, that we must consciously work to prevent collective amnesia, both nationally and internationally. While almost all agree that change is constant, and many admit that the answers of the past will not suffice in addressing the issues of tomorrow, few would wish to deny citizens access to their memory and the records and accounts of their experience. Communication of that experience -- oral, graphic, written -- is the hallmark of "civilization", and national institutions have a vital role to play. Something to contemplate in the New Year, which I hope will be a very happy one for you all. ********** CHANGES IN MULTILINGUAL BIBLIOSERVICE The National Library has been subject to a number of budget cuts imposed on federal government departments and agencies over the past several years which have had a significant cumulative impact. Until now, the Library has been able to manage the budget reductions so that they do not seriously affect services. But a series of additional cuts that will take effect beginning with the 1994-1995 fiscal year will require the Library to make changes in a number of services over the next few years. One of the services that will be significantly affected is the Multilingual Biblioservice (MBS). To achieve the required budget reductions, the Library will be scaling back the amount of material acquired for the Multilingual Biblioservice. MBS will be re-oriented to serve primarily as a short-term back-up resource for libraries that are unable to meet the changing needs of their local communities through their own collections or through those available within their own province or region. MBS will also endeavour to act as a clearinghouse for information on library services to ethnic communities in Ca nada, and to provide an advisory service to assist regional centres and local libraries in developing such services. After reviewing the recommendations from the study of the Multilingual Biblioservice conducted last year, the Library has tried to address what seem to be the most critical needs of users while re-orienting the service to adjust to continuing budget reductions. Early in the new year, the Library will call a meeting that will include representatives from provincial library services and the public library community to review these tentative plans and to seek advice and input on how the Library can best meet its objectives and the needs of users in re-orienting the Multilingual Biblioservice. ********** THE GRAPHIC PUBLISHERS LIMITED 1924-1932 by Joyce M. Banks, Curator, Rare Book Collection In 1992, the National Library of Canada was most fortunate to be the recipient of a gift of 101 books published by the Graphic Publishers and its associated presses: Ariston Publishers, Canadian Biographies Limited, Carillon Book Club of Canada, Laurentian Press Syndicate, Overbrook Press and RU-MI-LOU Books. Assembled by Kenneth Riseborough of R.R.1, Inglewood, Ont., the collection was acquired "coast to coast, book by book" over a period of eighteen years. The collection is in excellent condition, with many books in original dust jackets. The gift is being held as an integral collection within the Rare Book Collection, and we hope that it will attract scholars of Canadian publishing history, a field in which the donor is "deeply interested". Individual imprints can, of course, be consulted in-house. The Graphic Press was established in Ottawa in 1924 by Henry C. Miller, who owned a small printing firm. His aim was to publish good books for Canadians, written by Canadians, printed and bound with exclusively Canadian materials. The canon is wide-ranging, and includes fiction, poetry, travel, biography, history, natural history, children's books and literary criticism. Among the many writers whose works were published were Madge MacBeth, Arthur S. Bourinot, William Arthur Deacon, Wilson MacDonald, Freder ick Philip Grove, Merrill Denison, Watson Kirkconnell, Lawrence J. Burpee and Will R. Bird. The Graphic Publishers books were well designed and solidly made. Most of the early art work was done by Alan B. Beddoe, who established a distinctive style, and also designed the famous thunderbird logo. The strong nationalism of the Graphic Publishers' policy is reflected in the following statement, quoted by David B. Kotin from a promotional leaflet: "The Thunder Bird is one of the most ancient and honoured of [the] mystical figures of the Canadian Indian. It stood for the tremendous energy and power that man felt in thunder and lightning. It represented a spirit of energy, strength, efficiency and success. It stood for the finer things of life -- of what we understand today by intellect, advancement and consciousness. "The Thunder Bird (Trade Mark of Graphic) to-day [sic] stands for all that is mentioned above, is used as a mark of Canadian quality and service and is a staunch guarantee from Graphic Publishers Limited. "Are you one of those Canadians, who will sing ("Oh Canada!" with enthusiasm) -- and then go out and buy a foreign book?"(1) At least 83 books appeared during the seven years in which the Graphic Publishers was in operation. Given that they were stormy years indeed, this output is all the more remarkable. Financial problems, rooted in underfunding, were exacerbated by a sales potential limited by the company's nationalistic policy -- that is, publishing Canadian books for the Canadian market. To make matters worse, the press was far from the main publishing centre of Canada, and had a poor distribution system. Injudicious invest ment in expensive printing and a binding plant put even more pressure on finances. Finally, all of these problems were faced within a destructive atmosphere of acrimony and wrangling. By the end of 1929 Miller, who had borrowed heavily to support the Graphic Publishers, had left the company. Mrs. M.H.W. Cameron took charge of financial operations, and invited Frederick Philip Grove to become editor. But Graphic Publishers was not destined to prosper, and the company declared bankruptcy in 1932. Erik J. Spicer explains its demise as follows: "I believe that the depression was the killer; mismanagement and insufficient working capital it had already survived for some time."(2) Even so, the accomplishment of the Graphic Publishers was, and is, remarkable. Edward Stuart St. John sums it up, with justice: "The Graphic Publishers have left an indelible mark upon the publishing scene in Canada. Their significant output will secure their position on the history of Canadian publishing."(3) With the addition to the Library's Rare Book Collection of Kenneth Riseborough's gift, it is hoped that a Canadian bibliographer will be encouraged to prepare a full descriptive bibliography of the imprints of the Graphic Publishers and its associated presses. Such a work is long overdue. Notes: 1 David B.

The Friends' mandate would be to promote public interest in and support for the Library's work in preserving Canada's published heritage. The next year was one of planning as the Founding Board, an enthusiastic and dynamic group of individuals led by well-known Ottawa businesswoman Grete Hale, set about establishing a constitution and an administrative structure. A national membership drive was launched in October 1991 (NATIONAL LIBRARY NEWS, vol. 23, nos. 10-11, October-November 1991, p. 1) and on November 4 the long-awaited Friends organization was officially inaugurated at a gala which featured a reading by its first honorary member, writer Robertson Davies. Now that its second annual general meeting, held in June 1993, has come and gone, a few remarks about the Friends as it is today and a brief look back over its first two years may be in order. The Friends of the National Library is managed by an Executive and Board of Directors comprising sixteen members, chaired by Grete Hale. The Friends' Directors, who come from a wide range of backgrounds, represent the many constituencies that the Library serves. Active in the fields of the arts and music, literature and the cinema, Directors have been authors, book collectors, booksellers, publishers, broadcasters, teachers, lawyers and business people. All have contributed and continue to contribute their experience and expertise to the success of the organization. During the past two years much has been accomplished. Membership now stands at close to 500, and Friends are found across Canada, in the United States, and there are even a few in Great Britain and elsewhere in the world. One of the principal aims of the Friends is to support the Library in developing its Canadiana collections. To this end, the Friends have presented some important gifts during the past two years. When the National Library purchased A STATEMENT SUBMITTED BY LIEUTENANT COLONEL DESBARRES FOR CONSIDERATION, [London, 1795?], an extremely rare Canadiana title, the Friends assisted with the purchase, which also received a grant under the terms of the Cultural Property Export and Import Act. This was our first major gift (see "National Library Acquires Important Rare Book" by Joyce Banks, NATIONAL LIBRARY NEWS, vol. 24, no. 1, January 1992, pp. 1-2). Other rare items have also been purchased by Friends, such as a fine binding by Quebec binder Nicole Billard, Cl‚ment Fortin's limited edition of CENT PEINTURES RENDANT HOMMAGE A MARIA CHAPDELAINE (1985). Another unique gift was an "artist's book" bearing the title THE FABLE OF THE BEES. The most impressive gift, however, and one which ranks with the DesBarres work in importance, was John Dee's GENERAL AND RARE MEMORIALS PERTAYNING TO THE PERFECT ARTS OF NAVIGATION (also assisted by a Cultural Property grant). The book was printed at London in 1577, and is one of 100 copies of the first edition. "Dealing as it does with the search for a Northwest Passage, it is of primordial significance to our national heritage, and no other copy of the work is held in Canada," says Ronald Cohen, Chair of the Friends' Acquisitions Committee. An active group of some thirty volunteers assists the Library in various capacities and get involved with all Friends' activities and events. Various parts of the Library -- the Children's Literature Service, the Acquisitions and Bibliographic Services Branch, the Reference and Information Services Division -- have benefitted from volunteer assistance. Others have offered projects to do in the future. Over the summer months a "boutique" was set up in the front lobby of the Library to raise funds. Offered for sale were notecards, postcards and posters which reproduce art works related to the Library and its collections; CDs and tapes of recordings made by famous Canadian singers of the past, such as the tenors Edward Johnson and Raoul Jobin and the soprano Emma Albani, taken from works held in the Library's Music Division; National Library T-shirts; a new brochure on the John Hutton glass engravings in the Library; an illustrated volume, CANADA: A PORTRAIT; and the latest CANADA YEAR BOOK published by Statistics Canada. Items were for sale from Monday to Friday, 11:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., and the volunteers also offered tours of the public areas of the Library for visitors. Some 84 tours to a total of 182 visitors were given. In the summer months of 1992 and 1993 a dedicated group of volunteers participated in the weekly events sponsored by Cultures Canada, a cooperative venture in which the Library was a partner. Friends provided refreshments, sold CDs and maintained a membership sales desk. Throughout the fall and winter volunteers also assist at the National Library's cultural events programs and, of course, at major events sponsored by the Friends. The past two years have been busy ones for Friends as they worked with the Public Programs and Cultural Events staff in holding many exciting cultural events at the Library. Highlights include the inaugural gala and reading by Robertson Davies on November 4, 1991 which launched the Friends; an evening with Mordecai Richler, who addressed a capacity crowd and read from his book OH CANADA! OH QUEBEC! on April 14, 1992; the recent fundraiser evening with Margaret Atwood on November 9, 1993, which celebrated the publication of her novel THE ROBBER BRIDE; and the inaugural National Library Lecture, given to a capacity audience by Robert Fulford on October 4, 1993, sponsored by the Friends. Friends have been honoured guests at special previews of major Library exhibitions such as "Passages: A Treasure Trove of North American Exploration" and "What's New: Recent Acquisitions at the National Library". Friends enjoy many benefits of membership: they are entitled to reserved seating at many popular National Library cultural events such as the Governor General Literary Awards Winners Gala Readings and readings by literary figures like Michael Ondaatje or P.D. James, and other events such as concerts and the recent lecture by Stephen Sondheim. An additional benefit appreciated by many has been the issuing of National Library User Cards, a benefit granted to the Friends by the National Library this past year .. Future plans include a membership drive to attract new Friends. An expansion of fundraising activities is being planned by Alan Reid, who chairs the Fundraising and Finance Committee. Gifts of Canadiana will be encouraged as the Acquisitions Committee, under Ronald Cohen, launches a major project to seek out and attract donations of Canadiana as gifts to the Library. A brochure describing the Library's needs and how to donate is now ready and will be sent out to Friends in the near future. A program of exciting events for 1994 is now being developed by the Program Committee under the leadership of Gail Pike. And, last but not least, the Volunteer Committee under EdnaWilson, with the help of Coordinator of Volunteers Helen Elliott, will continue to oversee the wide variety of activities in which our volunteers are involved. None of the successes achieved by the Friends would have been possible without the support of the National Library. Grete Hale, in her address to the second annual general meeting, noted, "The Friends could not succeed without the wonderful support of Dr. Marianne Scott, our National Librarian!" She closed her remarks by thanking Miss Scott for her personal support, her staff for the professional advice and support essential to the ongoing activities of the organization, the members of the Board, the committee chairpersons who have served so well over the year, and, she finished, "all our Friends and donors!" ********** COMING ATTRACTION! ROMULUS -- THE SECOND EDITION! Sequels are often even more popular than the original, and we're betting that the second edition of Romulus will be an even bigger hit than the first! Watch NATIONAL LIBRARY NEWS for more information soon! ********** CONFERENCES 1993: THE NATIONAL LIBRARY AND THE LIBRARY COMMUNITY by Iris Winston, Staff Writer Conferences offer opportunities for professional development and intellectual stimulation. Both through formal presentations and informal networking, delegates can gain new insights into common problems and exchange information by showcasing their organizations' programs, services and products. Though the current economic situation makes it essential to curtail travel expenses by carefully selecting and dovetailing events and limiting representation, the National Library's presence in the library community, through attendance at conferences in various regions, remains one of the keys to effective information exchange and library development. Just as this year's Canadian Library Association Conference focussed on "the human cause" as its main theme, so the National Library of Canada, by participating in conferences at the local, national and international levels, keeps human beings central to the information business. In 1993, the National Library of Canada was present at a number of major library conferences across Canada and abroad. Each delegate from the National Library and other participating organizations at each conference was able to glean information, gain new ideas and make contacts that will prove useful in the coming year.

In addition, 160 volunteers from the Hamilton/Burlington area smoothed the way for delegates by helping with an assortment of conference activities from sign-making and preparing the daily conference newsletter to transporting speakers and organizing meeting space. "The combination of a particularly good program and a strong marketing effort from the Hamilton committee drew in members of the public at large as well as attracting a great number of library delegates," says CLA's Director of Member Services Leacy O'Brien. "The proximity of a large urban population also helped to raise attendance and make CLA '93 a success." This was the first year that CLA introduced a variety of registration levels aimed at encouraging attendance. A special student rate boosted student attendance to 60 participants, almost four times the previous year's rate, and an institution sampler allowed up to eight staff members from an institution to attend, one at a time. Many returned at their own expense for additional sessions, says O'Brien. The conference theme was "In the Human Cause". This, wrote CLA Board President Margaret Andrewes, also a member of the National Library Advisory Board, in the program introduction, encompassed "our fundamental purpose as key information providers." "I believe that the 1993 CLA Conference contributed sustantially to our knowledge and understanding of each other and the people whom we serve," commented Andrewes after the conference. "As library and information professionals, we must be steadfast in shaping our future and providing excellence in service in this information age. `In the Human Cause' challenged us with the issues that are prevalent in our society, our community and our association. The success of CLA 93 will be measured in the months and years to come as we work to address these issues and move forward." Association pour l'avancement des sciences et des techniques de la documentation (ASTED) This year's ASTED conference, held in Sherbrooke, Quebec, was attended by more than 300 delegates. In line with the conference theme of "Information in the Bionic Age," many of the sessions concentrated on the effects of industrial change and technological development on transmitting and storing information and on the future of print versus electronic publishing. Among the highlights were a follow-up to last year's National Summit on Information Policy and sessions on the role of government organizations and private enterprise as creators, protectors and distributors of information. "The conference was very interesting and very well organized," said the National Library's Public Services Branch Acting Director Rolande Blair on her return from Sherbrooke. "All libraries are keenly interested in new technologies, so the theme was most appropriate." She added that the National Library's booth was extremely well attended and that there was a constant flow of questions about the Library's services. International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) This year's IFLA conference was held in Barcelona, Spain, a place with "a long tradition of libraries". Here, in 1915, the first Escola de Bibliotecaris (School of Librarians) was founded, explained Eduard Carbonell Esteller, Co-President of the IFLA '93 Organizing Committee and Director General del Patrimoni Cultural Generalitat de Catalunya, in the conference newsletter. The library school, he writes, was a national development project, established to fill a need for well-trained professionals in the library field. It is, therefore, appropriate that IFLA, with its objective of promoting worldwide understanding, cooperation, communication, research and development in all fields of the library and information sciences, should meet in a place with such a long tradition of library development. This year's conference was attended by close to 2000 delegates representing most of the 135 member countries. The theme was "The Universal Library: Libraries as Centres for the Global Availability of Information". The National Library of Canada was represented by National Librarian Marianne Scott; Planning and Policy Director Tom Delsey; Ralph Manning, Chair, Canadian Cooperative Preservation Project; Ingrid Parent, Acting Director, Acquisitions and Bibliographic Services Branch; Leigh Swain, Acting Manager, Information Analysis and Standards; and Marie Zielinska, Chief, Multilingual Biblioservice. Through their membership on standing committees and their involvement in IFLA core programs, they are instrumental in developing international policies and standards. Delsey, for instance, has just completed a four-year term on the Standing Committee on Serial Publications, which is currently compiling a handbook on basic serials management targeted at the least-developed countries. In recognition of the diversity of IFLA membership, the committee this year sponsored an open program session on serial publications in an electronic environment, exploring the implications of electronic publishing in the world of serials. Parent was appointed to the Standing Committee on Cataloguing, and Manning is Secretary-Treasurer of the Standing Committee on Conservation, a member of the Standing Committee on Statistics and Secretary of the Co-ordinating Board of Management and Technology Division. The Standing Committee on Conservation is currently preparing brochures on disaster planning and permanent paper. This last, says Manning, "strikes particularly close to home." "Despite experiences and backgrounds being so different, there was a great deal of common ground," said Parent. "This was my first opportunity to attend an IFLA conference. I found the meetings very exciting, and the conference a wonderful place to make contacts and complete business." She also commented on the enthusiasm of participants and the pride felt by even those with very limited resources in their role in preserving their country's publications and in disseminating information. "We are all striving for better access to information," she says. "Hearing from other delegates made me think that we're very fortunate here at the National Library of Canada. At this stage in our development, I see Canada as being in a teaching and support position, helping library development around the world." For Leigh Swain, as the representative of the Universal Dataflow and Telecommunications (UDT) IFLA Core Programme, administered by the National Library of Canada, this is particularly true. "It is during the six or seven days at IFLA that I find out how effective my work during the rest of the year has been," he comments, adding with regret that his UDT duties keep him so busy during the conference that he rarely sees anything of the world outside the meeting site. Marie Zielinska, with her expertise and special interest in multilingual initiatives, chaired the organizing committee of the satellite meeting on Automated Systems for Access to Multilingual and Multiscript Library Materials in Madrid where she made presentations on the National Library's MINISIS and Multilib systems. She then went on to the main IFLA meeting in Barcelona as a member of the Standing Committee on Library Services to Multicultural Populations. "There is wonderful interaction, dynamic feeling and concern for others at IFLA conferences," says Marianne Scott, summing up her reaction to IFLA 93, "though when all the effort comes from volunteers who are very busy in their own jobs, there is a major problem in translating much of this wonderful rhetoric into concrete action. There is so much to be done, and forums for exchanging ideas are no more than an excellent start for what must be a continuing effort." Next year's IFLA conference will be in Cuba. ********** ANOTHER AWARD FOR "PASSAGES" "Passages: A Treasure Trove of North American Exploration" has won another award. The catalogue of the National Library's exhibition, which ran from April 24 to October 4, 1992 as part of the Library's Canada 125 celebration, has won an Award of Merit in the Books category in the awards program of the Information Services Institute. The "Passages" poster won "Excellence" in the Posters, Certificates, Decals and Related Items category in the APEX '92 Fourth Annual Awards Program. Copies of both the poster and the catalogue are available from: Marketing and Publishing National Library of Canada 395 Wellington Street Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0N4 Telephone: (613) 995-7969 Fax: (613) 991-9871 The poster is free; the catalogue costs $19.95 (plus GST) per copy. Please make cheque or money order payable to the Receiver General for Canada. ********** AMICUS AND REPORTING TO THE NATIONAL LIBRARY OF CANADA'S UNION CATALOGUE Currently, a number of Canadian libraries report locations and holdings information to the National Library's Union Catalogue in several ways. The information may be submitted on catalogue cards, computer tapes or diskettes. It is anticipated that the implementation of AMICUS, the National Library's new automated system, will not change the ways in which most libraries report their holdings. Several federal government libraries who subscribe to the DOBIS Search Service are able to add their locations and holdings information to DOBIS online. These libraries will be able to add the same information to AMICUS online. Prior to the implementation of AMICUS, which is scheduled to take place on April 1, 1994, National Library staff will contact these federal libraries to discuss any changes and to make arrangements for any necessary training.

Behind the grand piano (ready for concerts later in the week) stood potted palms. Gentle background music was being played on stringed instruments. In contrast were the highly stylized plastic podium and reading lamp. We felt the past, but saw the present. Robert Fulford was chosen by the Friends of the National Library for the first National Library Lecture, one of the events marking the 40th anniversary year of the National Library. Fulford is well known in Canada as a prolific essayist, broadcaster and critic of the arts, particularly jazz. As writer and editor for publications like MACLEAN'S and SATURDAY NIGHT, his byline was familiar long before he took part in radio discussions and finally hosted his own television show. In spite of competition from the election debate that evening, his reputation filled the Library's auditorium. Fulford spoke on "Structure of Memory and Longing; The Place of Cultural Institutions in Time of Radical Change". He confessed his bias early by telling us that one of his favourite people -- his daughter -- is a librarian. He went on to say that the library is the most important of all the inventions of the knowledge industry, predating both the university and the museum. By storing and studying the records of our history, we stand some chance of at least recognizing a civilized point of view. Fulford was vehement in his condemnation of any society that does not teach history to its children. From this neglect, he said, comes the kind of distortion that makes possible the denial of the Holocaust. On a more cheerful note, which suits Fulford better, he reflected on today's rapidly changing times, and reminded us that a much more dramatic transformation took place when people gave up a nomadic existence of hunting and settled down to agriculture and fixed villages. The dislocations recorded from this development were apparently much more far-reaching than the adjustments demanded of us. He then looked, however, at turning-points in his own life. For example, he remembered the big yellow Winton Flyer car in a Steve McQueen movie: far from being a flash in the pan, the automobile has entirely changed society. Fulford remembered his first encounter with the photocopying machine, as a young copy boy on the GLOBE AND MAIL. He thought of it as something that might replace carbon paper, not foreseeing that it would alter the whole world of research, copyright, teaching and government information. Developments in his own profession Fulford seemed to take in stride. He then departed from his prepared text (as I was to discover later) to consider modern architecture. He described Mies van der Rohe's determination to create a "past-free" architecture with no echoes, which led him to use steel and concrete in building stark new shapes that had no connection with the past. Fulford said the public rebelled against the results, which is why the current "post-modern architecture" has arches and pillars that recall classical traditions. Fulford seemed to be saying that too abrupt a break with the past will not be accepted. He made no allowances -- it seemed to me later -- for the beauty of certain modern buildings, such as Toronto's City Hall or the Seagram Building in New York. Robert Fulford is a provocative speaker who tosses out ideas more generously than most but leaves the audience members to think about them and come to their own conclusions. He did not depart, however, from his consideration of the past and the part it plays in our lives. "Although it cannot provide models for what we are going through today, it can remind us of the varieties of human ingenuity and give us an enduring sense of the grandeur of human possibility," he concluded. As the West looked back to the Greeks and Romans for what Fulford calls "the memory-material that fuelled the Renaissance, the Enlightenment and much of the Victorian period", we too can study the past to change our perspective on the present. There is no point in being frightened of change. It is permanent and getting even faster, Fulford thinks. There is no way to prepare for it. So what can we do? Remember. ********** DID YOU KNOW...that the National Library of Canada now accepts interlibrary loan requests via telefacsimile from libraries that do not have access to an electronic system such as DOBIS/ILL, ENVOY 100, GMHS or Internet? A standard interlibrary loan request form should be used when sending faxed requests. Please include your library symbol on all requests.

A cooperative venture of the Library, the National Archives of Canada, the Currency Museum, the Supreme Court of Canada, and several hotels and restaurants, WOW was intended to increase awareness of the four federal institutions as tourist destinations. The dramatized readings, organized by the National Library and presented at the National Capital Commission's Visitor Orientation Centre across the street from Parliament Hill, focussed on items in the Library's collection. Presented over a four-week period, the readings included a variety of verses from Canadian poets, an encounter between the fictional characters Anne of Green Gables and Florentine Lacasse (THE TIN FLUTE), who spoke about their authors, and mock interviews with music men Claude Champagne and Sir Ernest MacMillan. Between 30 and 50 tourists enjoyed each reading after they saw the Changing of the Guard. The children who attended seemed particularly captivated by the Anne of Green Gables/Florentine performance. The readings were repeated in the sunken lobby at the National Library early in September. Staff members who attended said that they found them interesting and entertaining. The Library tours, organized with the help of the Friends of the National Library, were very popular. Among the visitors who joined the tours, offered at 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. on weekdays, was a group of 38 Russian-Americans from New York State. They expressed great interest in the National Library's mandate and admired the beauty of the building. The Friends also ran a gift booth, and reported that T-shirts, sweatshirts, postcards and other souvenirs were extremely popular. The "West On Wellington" committee will meet soon to review the summer programming and evaluate the campaign. Watch for an article on the future of the WOW campaign in an upcoming issue of the NATIONAL LIBRARY NEWS. ********** WOW - WINTERLUDE! The National Library will be celebrating Winterlude, a local festival, in cooperation with the National Archives of Canada and the Currency Museum, on Sunday, February 6, from 12 noon to 4:00 p.m. An activity day for the whole family focussing on the Library's exhibition "North: Landscape of the Imagination". Come and join us! ********** AMICUS NEWSLETTER JANUARY 1994 Happy New Year to all! It's hard to believe that 1994 is already here -- and it's even more difficult to believe that, in three months, AMICUS will be here too! This year our Search Service celebrates its 10th anniversary. The DOBIS Search Service began in 1984 as a limited pilot project, users being accepted as resources permitted. Our chief aim in offering the service was, to quote one of my predecesors, Mary Joan Dunn, "to facilitate and to promote resource sharing in Canada by allowing libraries access to the holdings information of the Canadian union catalogue. While the primary use of the service is anticipated to be support for interlibrary loans, that is, locations searching and bibliographic verification, the richness of the database will make it a valuable resource for a variety of other purposes, such as collection development, cataloguing support and reference and research" (NATIONAL LIBRARY NEWS, vol. 16, no. 5, May 1984, p. 1). Today, the Library's aim in offering the Search Service remains the same. The predicted uses of the database have been proven accurate: clients use the system to support library operations such as locations searching and ILL, as well as cataloguing, reference and collections development. In 1984, the database contained close to three million bibliographic records, and was growing at an annual rate of 400 000 records. Over 500 000 records had been created online, and 1.5 million records contained the holdings of Canadian libraries. Today, the database contains close to nine million bibliographic records, and is growing at an annual rate of approximately one million records. Over 2.2 million records have been created online since 1984; 4.5 million records include Canadian holdings. Since 1984, our client base has grown to more than 650 institutions nationwide. Over the last ten years we have continued to enhance the system. The enhancements include the introduction of three levels of record description, the addition of more than half a million authority records, the establishment of bilingual online help and news, and the DOBIS-ILL feature, to name but a few. Last year we made the system available to users over the CA*net. We continue to offer a client information centre, training, documentation and a troubleshooting support service. AMICUS will feature boolean searching and there will be additional indices from which to search the database. We are proud of the system and the Search Service. We thank you for making it a success, and look forward to working with you as we begin a new era with AMICUS.

GisŠle DeVillers ********** DESELECTION OF FOREIGN SERIALS: AN UPDATE by Francine Bedard, Acting Head, Reading Room Division Following recommendations made in the 1990 report of the National Library's Collections Management Policy Team (CMPT), a committee was created in 1991 to review non-Canadian periodicals that did not meet the criteria set forth in the National Library's collecting guidelines. (For the CMPT recommendations, please see "Collections Management Policy Team: Results", NATIONAL LIBRARY NEWS, vol. 23, no. 12, December 1991, pp. 11-12.) The committee's main purpose was to tighten up the collection in the areas identified as being of "special emphasis" in the Library's holdings -- Canadian literature, Canadian history, Canadian music and music in Canada -- and in areas needed for reference and research services, for library development, and, in special cases, when works are not widely held in Canada. Procedures for deselection were set up by the committee, which took into account the Canadian content, the number of Canadian libraries holding the same title, subject value, etc. (see "Deselection of Serials at the National Library" by Pat MacDonald, NATIONAL LIBRARY NEWS, vol. 24, no. 5, May 1992, p. 7). A first list of 232 cancelled titles was offered to the Canadian Association of Research Libraries (CARL) and federal government libraries in June 1992 and January 1993. Of these, 12 libraries took the full holdings of 120 titles. The libraries who received titles are: Carleton University Library Douglas Library, Queen's University Harriet Irving Library, University of New Brunswick Killam Memorial Library, Dalhousie University Leddy Library, University of Windsor McGill University Library McPherson Library, University of Victoria Scott Library, York University University of Alberta Library University of Calgary Library University of Toronto Library D.B. Weldon Library, University of Western Ontario As a result of deselection, the National Library was able to focus its collections activities, saved money that can be used to purchase other publications covered by our collecting guidelines, and gained more than 336 feet of valuable shelf space. The remaining 112 titles on this first list are being offered to the Canadian library community at large. Libraries that acquire these backfiles will agree to the following conditions: 1. To take the whole run and to retain backfiles. 2. To send the titles to the National Library's Canadian Book Exchange Centre if, at a later date, a decision is made to dispose of them. 3. To make the material available either on interlibrary loan or photocopies. 4. To report holdings and changes in holdings status to the National Library's Union Catalogue. 5. To maintain a current subscription to titles received. 6. To pay for the delivery of the serials.
