3D Printing Topographic Data: An Introduction and Technique
(Association of Canadian Map Libraries and Archives, 2015) Mrozewski, Tomasz
This paper documents ongoing research into the application of 3D printing processes to GIS data. As 3D printing becomes more accessible to a broad audience, its application to GIS data is being investigated by industry, academia and amateur Makers. This paper will outline a technique for converting contour lines into a digital, printable 3D models using ArcGIS and Rhino software; other methods will also be briefly discussed. The end goal of this research is to develop a set of easy-to-follow guidelines for replicating this process in the context of an academic library, drawing on the author’s own experiences.

Are Canadian Libraries Ready to Transition from MARC to BIBFRAME?
(Canadian Association of Information Science (CAIS), 2020-09-21) Fortier, Alexandre; Pretty, Heather; Scott, Daniel B.; Spéciel, Olivier
This project seeks to assess the Canadian library community’s understanding of and readiness for the transition from the MARC format to the BIBFRAME model. Data were collected using a survey distributed in English and French to a stratified random sample of 1,200 Canadian libraries. Results indicate that knowledge of BIBFRAME is low among respondents and that most of the libraries surveyed do not know enough about BIBFRAME to consider planning a transition at this point.
Artificially enhanced research : Free software and fantastic research
(2008-09-23T16:48:56Z) Scott, Dan
The free software community has developed a number of tools that are useful to researchers. This presentation introduces four tools: the LibX toolbar to extend library searching throughout your Web experience; the Zotero plug-in for collecting, organizing, and citing your research materials; the LU|ZONE|UL institutional repository built on DSpace for making your research openly accessible; and the quick lookup Linux laptops that have made quick searches fast and easy for library visitors and saved Laurentian University tens of thousands of dollars in hardware replacement costs.
Assessing the Readiness for and Knowledge of BIBFRAME in Canadian Libraries
(Taylor & Francis Group, 2022-09-10) Fortier, Alexandre; Pretty, Heather J.; Scott, Daniel
This study assesses the Canadian library community’s understanding of and readiness for the transition from the MARC format to the BIBFRAME model. Results indicate that knowledge of BIBFRAME is low among respondents and that most of the libraries surveyed do not know enough about BIBFRAME to consider planning a transition. The success of the transition will depend on the leadership of larger libraries as well as better training in formal programs and continuing education initiatives.

Canadian BIBFRAME Readiness Task Force survey instrument
(2019-11-14) Scott, Dan; Fortier, Alexandre; Pretty, Heather; Spéciel, Olivier
This study aims to measure two aspects of Canadian libraries concerning the BIBFRAME bibliographic description model and vocabulary: 1) Measuring the level of understanding Canadian libraries currently have of BIBFRAME 2) Measuring how ready Canadian libraries are to transition from the MARC bibliographic format to BIBFRAME. The survey results will inform a list of recommendations for training, education and advocacy for Canadian libraries, as requested by the Canadian Federation of Library Associations-Cataloguing and Metadata Standards Committee (CFLA CMSC).

Census Returns on Microfilm
(1999) Goltz, Eileen
The Manuscript Census is a compilation of handwritten census documents, prepared by enumerators as they travelled from one dwelling to another. This, they did every ten years, covering the years from 1666 to 1901. The Public Archives of Canada has microfilmed these documents and made them available for public use. It is an important collection of primary source raw data.
Le congrès Franco-Parole, on aspects d'une université bilingue dans le Nord de l'Ontario

A Corporate View of Housing and Community in a Company Town: Copper Cliff, 1886 to 1920.
(Ontario Historical Society, Toronto, Ont., 1990) Goltz, Eileen
Traces the development of the company town of Copper Cliff (now part of Sudbury), Ontario, to show how a corporation viewed the purpose of such a community and how it was used to meet company ends. Copper Cliff was a settlement around the copper mines of the Canadian Copper Company. A highly pragmatic solution to the problem of getting workers to resettle in out-of-the-way places, these towns usually had their houses, water and systems, schools, roads, stores, and entertainment centers built and financed by the primary company operating in the area. To the company, the housing and the town in general were investments, and also a 'tool' for controlling workers.

Développement de services documentaires dans une université bilingue du Nord de l'Ontario
(2010-08-11T20:02:07Z) Saadaoui, Leïla
Les services documentaires dans les bibliothèques universitaires sont confrontés à de nombreux défis, notamment à travers la remise en cause des pratiques traditionnelles. Cette situation est bien réelle à la bibliothèque J.N. Desmarais, principale bibliothèque de l'Université Laurentienne, université bilingue du Nord de l'Ontario. Les formations documentaires y sont données de manière informelle. Les étudiants y entreprennent de plus en plus des recherches sans consulter les bibliothécaires ou même les ressources de la bibliothèque. Dans ce contexte, nos réflexions nous amènent à introduire d'autres manières de présenter nos services et de rejoindre notre public afin de lui transmettre les compétences informationnelles essentielles dans un environnement académique.
Elder Abuse: A Bibliographic Investigation
(Ontario Elder Abuse Conference, 2002-11-19) Maley, Desmond
Over the past few months, I have been assembling a bibliography on elder abuse that will soon be published on the Web site of the Ontario Network for the Prevention of Elder Abuse (www.onpea.org). I brought to this inquiry the tools I developed a decade ago during a sabbatical I spent developing subject-literature expertise in gerontology. That study was focussed exclusively on the print literature. Today, however, no bibliography would be complete without addressing the multifaceted nature of communication. Not only is there the traditional “hard copy” bibliography, there are videos, the Internet, and even the telephone. (Phone Busters, operated by the Ontario Provincial Police, does research on telemarketing scams and seniors.) I should emphasize this bibliography is not meant to be comprehensive, but a “brief bibliography” along the lines of the excellent series published by the Association for Gerontology in Higher Education.
