To ensure coordination of the Program, the National Library established an advisory committee made up of members representing agencies in the partnership. The Committee's primary mandate is to advise the National Library on the nature, scope, development and implementation of the National Core Library Statistics Program. The collection of data for 1994 concluded in February 1996. Special libraries are much less well represented, since only 457 of them completed the questionnaire. The final analysis will be available in the near future on the National Library of Canada's World Wide Web site.
Articles describing the results are in preparation.
Data collection for 1995 has just been completed. The collection took place in the same way as previously, except for two aspects. New partners have joined the group. After the questionnaires were returned, the Association was able to carry out a statistical analysis of the health sciences libraries which replied. The Canadian Association of Law Libraries also supported the Program by sending its members a letter inviting them to participate.
