School of Library Technology fonds
The School of Library Technology at Lakehead University operated from 1966 until 2002, administratively part of the Faculty of University Schools. It was one of only two university-based Library Technology programs in Canada.
Students enrolled in either a 2-year diploma program, or a post-graduate diploma program that could often be completed within 1 year. In the late 1980s, amid concerns that non-degree programs might no longer be funded by the Ontario government, there was a proposal to create a 3-year Bachelor of Arts in Library and Information Studies.
The records consist of:
School Administration: Includes reports, plans and proposals, newsletters, and reference material spanning the year of the School's operation.
Student Experience: Includes yearbooks, photographs, and scrapbooks of students and graduates of the program.
Response to the Bovey Commission on Ontario Universities
Responses to the Bovey Commission: Commission on the Future Development of the Universities of Ontario. Includes University-wide material and responses from the School of Library Technology.
Collected newsletters, articles, and reports on the subject of library technology training in Canada, presumably to inform and shape the development of the School of Library Technology in its first years.
