  • 1966 - 2000

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.

Scrapbooks and Photographs

Photographs and news clippings illustrating the student and faculty experiences in the School of Library Technology. Material is from one large scrapbook (kept intact but with loose items separated) and one photo album binder (separated into individual photographs and sheets.)

Student Experience

Records reflecting the student experience at the School of Library Technology, including photographs of students and faculty, scrapbooks and clippings, yearbooks, and convocation programs.
