- Abstract
- In 2008, Quebec, the mother city of francophone culture in North America will host the World Library and Information Congress and the IFLA General Conference. The article discusses the development of the Canadian national library system against the background of the dynamic changes in Canadian society over the past decades which are characterized by relations between the two major language communities, the diverse heritage of Canada's aboriginal nations and ethnic immigrant communities as well as its federal constitution. It discusses the most important recent developments, especially the creation of Library and Archives Canada/Bibliotheque et Archives Canada in 2004 and Bibliotheque et Archives nationales du Quebec in 2006, as well as major infrastructure projects and the main strategies adopted by the two national libraries and the University of Toronto Library system in its function as a de facto national research library preserving important collections of Canadian and world heritage.
