Abstract

The article describes the experiences and personal impressions of a young lecturer in teaching indexing and classification in the Bachelor programme »Library and Information Management« at the Stuttgart Media University (Hochschule der Medien, HdM). Although, in Germany, subject cataloguing is traditionally seen as the business of senior-level librarians, it still plays a major role in the education of upper-level librarians at the HdM. A sound knowledge of indexing and classification seems especially important as they bear the brunt of work at the reference desk, where questions on searching by subject abound. The courses aim at a healthy balance between theory and practice. Practical exercises (which unfortunately tend to be somewhat artificial) and field trips are part of the lectures. Optional courses can also involve project work. It is important to note that students are not only on the receiving end: They can also do valuable research for the library community, especially in their Bachelor theses. Contacts and communication between students and faculty of the HdM on the one hand and working librarians on the other should be upheld and even intensified, which makes networking a very useful skill for teaching staff.

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.
