Electronic Publications Pilot 1996 - 1997: final report
Abstract
This report, revised in May 1999, describes the Electronic Publications Pilot
(EPP) which was conducted to gather knowledge on how library staff and their
clients are adjusting to the Internet. The pilot was conducted from September
1996 to September 1997 as a joint initiative of Statistics Canada and the Depository
Services Program (DSP), in partnership with the depository library community.
The objective of the pilot was to assess the impact of replacing print publications
with electronic equivalents via the Internet in DSP libraries. This objective
was based on an assumption that the electronic medium will complement print
rather than replace it entirely and that departments will continue to produce
some print publications in the future. The major conclusions of the pilot cover
resources and training, web site feedback, selection of publications for conversion
to electronic format, web site access and security, publication functionality
and access and archiving.
