Survey of Canadian Academic Depository Libraries Regarding Electronic Government Publications, 2001

Canadian Depository Libraries are facing a crisis in dealing with government publications that have migrated to exclusively electronic format. Rather than providing these publications to libraries under the Depository Services Program (DSP), governments are increasingly 'publishing' exclusively on the web. In an effort to investigate how Canadian academic depository libraries are handling this trend a survey was developed and distributed on the InfoDep Listserv. The survey was sent out 24 April 2001. The last survey response was received 13 May 2001.
