Introduction

This electronic directory describes the reference and referral information services available in the National Capital Region (NCR) and provides librarians and researchers with practical information about collections, subject strengths and service policies. The information was initially compiled by means of a questionnaire which was distributed to NCR libraries and information centres in the summer of 1998.

Users can access the directory through an institutional index and a broad subject index which will assist them in locating specific libraries and information centres.

In order to maintain the currency of the directory information, libraries and information centres are encouraged to contact the National Library of Canada regarding revisions and updates, including changes in addresses (both physical and electronic), telephone and fax numbers, Web sites and/or policy information.

We also encourage unlisted libraries and information centres to submit information about their services. An interactive template form has been provided for your convenience. Please return the completed form electronically, by mail or fax it to:
