Bibliographies prepared by the National Library for the National Information Summit and by the Ontario Library Association can be used as the basis of local preparation. An important part of any bibliography will be a list of Federal, Provincial, and Municipal legislation. There will be people in every community concerned about public access to information and privacy issues. Among them will be librarians, library school students and academics, civil libertarians, journalists, lawyers, FOI advocates, socially conscious computer science people, sociologists, communications experts, a very broad range of community groups, and individuals involved in organizing FreeNets and many others. Programs involving these individuals will highlight both the issues and profile librarians and your library as leaders in protecting public access to information.
Many provinces have a government depository system.
The same questions exist for the Federal Depository program. The CLA Government Documents Interest Group can also assist in providing possible speakers and background information. This is your opportunity to work with local Freenets. Literacy, Adult Basic Education, and English as a Second Language Programs and Information Policy Literacy is the basic element for access to any of the higher technologies. This is an opportunity to work with literacy groups.
