Edwards dreams of Alexandria: Library history in the service of public library activism
No full textOur paper explores the relationship between Edward Edwards’s Memoirs of Libraries: Including a Handbook of Library Economy (1859) and 19th-century Britain’s Public Library Movement, especially the Public Library Acts of 1850 and 1855. Focusing on the instrumentalization of library history for the movement’s agenda, we show how Edwards projects the roots of this movement deep into antiquity and rhetorically creates a narrative of British deficiency set purposefully at odds with British patriotic and colonial sentiments, deriving from this vertical and horizontal comparison his arguments and advice for the establishment of municipal public libraries

Project to automate the Canadian Education Index: Looking for a language / Project pour l\u27automatisation du répertoire Canadien sur l\u27education: a la recherche d\u27un langage
No full textThis brief history of the project to automate the Canadian Education Index centres mainly on a consideration of three indexing languages in relation to the objectives of the Canadian Education Index: our own subject headings (L.C. style), ERIC and PRECIS. PRECIS comes closest to meeting our objectives, but as funding has not vet been received, decisions cannot be made. Work continues on the problems of format and cost effectiveness.
Pour le projet d’automatisation du Répertoire canadien sur l\u27Education, dont on trouvera ici une brève historique, trois langages d\u27indexation furent étudiés dans l\u27optique des objectifs du Répertoire: nos propres vedettes-matières (style L.C.), ERIC et PRECIS. PRECIS se révéla le plus approprié à nos objectifs mais, au moment de la rédaction de ce rapport, la question du financement n\u27étant pas encore réglée, les décisions finales demeuraient encore en suspens. Le travail continue sur les questions de format, de coût et d\u27efficacité
