Marni R. Harrington and Ania Dymarz examine the trend of hiring consultants in academic libraries, combining their historical presentation of literature about consultants in librarianship with a linguistic analysis of that literature. While they present a historical analysis, they do so in order to better understand the present-day role of consultants in academic libraries. Their critical perspective brings a helpful focus to the discussion about consultants and illuminates several ways in which the role of consultants can be further scrutinized. Lorne D. Bruce gives a historical survey of academic libraries in postwar Canada, identifying several themes that were prominent during that period. Today’s readers are unlikely to have first-hand memories of academic libraries from 1945 to 1960, and so Bruce’s discussion of these historical developments is enlightening. It is particularly timely and interesting to read about library organization, administrative changes, and evolution of roles for librarians, since many Canadian academic libraries are currently undergoing “organizational renewal” or re-organizations. As in the previous volume of the Canadian Journal of Academic Librarianship, these articles show that we are open to all research methodologies and disciplinary perspectives. Literature in librarianship has been criticized for being overly preoccupied with quantitative, empirical research (Drabinski and Walters 2016), and we are pleased that CJAL’s volumes clearly show our commitment to approaches that may not have been as readily accepted by other journals. At the same time, we want to remind prospective authors that our commitment to all methodologies means that we are also open to quantitative research, and we would particularly welcome submissions of quantitative research addressed from critical perspectives. We also want to remind readers that we are also accepting submissions for two special issues, one on diversity and academic librarianship and one on research, scholarship, and Canadian academic librarians. Details are in the NEWS section of the journal site. We are pleased to work with our guest editor colleagues on these special Editorial. 2018.

CANADIAN JOURNAL OF ACADEMIC LIBRARIANSHIP REVUE CANADIENNE DE BIBLIOTHÉCONOMIE UNIVERSITAIRE 2 Éditorial DANS notre troisième volume, nous publions deux articles qui présentent des anal- yses historiques. Marni R. Harrington et Ania Dymarz examinent la tendance consistant à embaucher des consultants dans les bibliothèques universitaires. Elles combinent une présentation historique de la littérature sur les consultants en bibliothéconomie à l’analyse linguistique de cette dernière. Leur analyse historique a pour objectif de mieux comprendre le rôle actuel des consultants dans les bibliothèques d’enseignement supérieur. Leur texte permet de poser un regard critique sur le phénomène des consultants et d’examiner de plus près leur rôle sous plusieurs angles. Lorne D. Bruce fait un survol historique des bibliothèques universitaires du Canada de l’après-guerre en identifiant plusieurs thèmes importants durant cette période. Étant donné le nombre restreint de lecteurs pouvant se souvenir des bibliothèques universitaires entre 1945 et 1960, la discussion de l’auteur sur ces développements historiques est éclairante. Il est particulièrement opportun et intéressant d’en apprendre davantage sur l’organisation des bibliothèques, les changements administratifs et l’évolution des rôles des bibliothécaires, puisque de nombreuses bibliothèques universitaires canadiennes font actuellement l’objet d’un « renouveau organisationnel » ou de réorganisations. Comme dans le volume précédent de la Revue canadienne de bibliothéconomie universitaire, ces articles démontrent l’accueil que nous faisons à toutes les méthodologies de recherche et à toutes les perspectives disciplinaires. On a reproché à la littérature bibliothéconomique d’être trop préoccupée par la recherche empirique quantitative (Drabinski et Walters, 2016). Nous sommes heureux que les volumes de la RBCU démontrent clairement notre intérêt pour des approches qui ne sont pas nécessairement acceptées par d’autres revues. Aussi, nous rappelons aux auteurs que notre ouverture envers toutes les méthodologies signifie que nous nous intéressons également à la recherche quantitative. Nous recevrons donc avec plaisir des propositions d’articles de recherche quantitative abordée sous un angle critique. Éditorial. 2018.

Les détails se trouvent dans la section ANNONCES du site Web de la revue.

CANADIAN JOURNAL OF ACADEMIC LIBRARIANSHIP REVUE CANADIENNE DE BIBLIOTHÉCONOMIE UNIVERSITAIRE 2 Consultants in Academic Libraries: Challenging, Renewing, and Extending the Dialogue Marni R. Harrington University of Western Ontario Ania Dymarz Simon Fraser University ABSTRACT There is a trend in academic libraries to hire consultants for internal crises, change management projects, strategic planning processes, outcomes assessment, evidence-based decision making, information literacy instruction, and more. Although we hear informally about the use of consultants in academic libraries, the practice has gone unexamined. We employ a historical and linguistic analysis of consultants in academic libraries, using a critical framework for this research. A critical perspective provides a structure to discuss issues that librarians may not have been able to previously fit into library practice dialogue. A chronological history of consulting in libraries acts as our literature review. This review, along with a targeted examination of library and information science resources, is used to guide two lines of linguistic analysis. The first provides a critique of the core tenets used to define and characterize library consultants, namely, the claim that consultants are unbiased professionals who bring “expertise” and “fresh” ideas to libraries. The second analysis investigates the rhetorical strategies used in existing texts: polarizing language, straw man reasoning, and figurative and indirect language. The discussion section unpacks these linguistic strategies, reflects on what is missing from the texts, and considers how knowledge and power

  • The Canadian Institute for Historical Microreproductions at Zy Years
    Preserving and Providing Access to Canada's Printed Heritage: The Canadian Institute for Historical Microreproductions at zy Years Myriam McCormack' The Canadian Institute for Historical Microreproductions / Institut canadien de microreproductions historiques (CIHM/ICMH), a non- profit corporation, was established in I978 at the urging of the Canadian research community. CIHM's initial mission was to preserve and disseminate on microfiche early printed monographs that contained information about Canada, were written by Canadian authors, or had a Canadian imprint. At its founding, CIHM received a one-time grant of $1 million from the Canada Council. Investment income from the grant, in addition to revenues from subscription sales and vigorous fund-raising, ensured that there were sufficient funds to complete the initial mandated project as well as several others. CIHM's task was to find materials that fit each project's defined parameters, persuade holding institutions to lend the materials for microfilming, make preservation-quality microfiche reproductions, and publicize to the Canadian library community and public the availability of microfiche copies. So far, CIHM has successfully completed five major projects to preserve and disseminate early Canadiana on microfiche (including monographs and serials published in Canada and elsewhere from I998 to I920), and currently is making steady progress with a sixth project: the microfilming and digital scanning of early Canadian government publications. These collections are available to researchers throughout the world. This I Myriam McCormack worked with CIHM for twenty years, beginning as a cataloguer and eventually overseeing bibliographic research, microfilming, and the implementation of digital scanning production. She is currently a cataloguer with the National Library of Canada.

  • Introduction
    Introduction That a volume of the poetry of Alexander McLachlan should be given a foremost place in the Literature of Canada: Poetry and Prose in Reprint series cannot be questioned. Douglas Lochhead in his introduction to one of the volumes of this series - Dewart's anthology, Selections from Canadian Poets - has focussed atten- tion on the argument of Edward Hartley Dewart that 'a national literature is an essential element in the formation of national character.' If the statement was important in 1864 when the Canadian nation struggling to be born was composed of largely homogeneous ethnic groups, it is of even greater significance to- day, when so many of the Dominion's population are recent immigrants from many nations, who have only a very limited notion of what the Canadian 'national character' is, or of the identity they are seeking when they take out Canadian citizen- ship. Even many Canadians of the second or third generation have an equally vague notion of what Canada is all about. While back- ground studies in history, politics, and sociology make a good attempt to overcome deficient knowledge of the past, these alone are not enough. They need to be supplemented with studies in the early literature of Canada; and foremost in any literature stands the work of the poets. Dewart ranks Alexander McLachlan as a major early Canadian poet second only in importance to Charles Sangster. While much of his poetry may appear imitative and of a highly derivative nature, seen in its proper historic perspective it is more than just a pale reflection of the intellectual ideas permeating the thought of nineteenth-century British writers.

  • Introduction
    Introduction Charles G.D. Roberts was one of Canada's most productive writers. In a literary career that extended over six and a half decades, he published some three hundred and fifty poems, over two hundred short stories, nine full-length novels, six other books (including travel-guides, histories, and a translation) and a con- siderable number of articles, essays, and prefaces. It is scarcely surprising, therefore, that the standard of his writing is extremely uneven, or that his best work - and this is at least as true of his poetry as of his prose - is always in danger of being buried under the dross. As it happens, Roberts had himself encountered, and commented on, a similar situation in the case of Wordsworth (see pp. 271-5 below). He observed that 'severe selection was called for in order that full justice might be done to the genius of Wordsworth,' and went on to argue that the interest of the student 'makes it imperative that he should be brought first in contact with Wordsworth's genius through the medium of a volume of selections.' These remarks are equally applicable to Roberts' own work, and express the rationale for the present book. In 1936 Roberts published his own Selected Poems, which included approximately one-half of his total poetic output. At first sight, this would seem an ideal introduction to his poetry, but unfortunately, like many other poets, Roberts is not neces- sarily the best judge of his own writings. A surprisingly large number of inferior pieces remain, and their presence too often detracts from the impressiveness of the rest.

  • Postwar Canadian Academic Libraries, 1945–60
    Postwar Canadian Academic Libraries, 1945–60 Lorne D. Bruce University of Guelph (retired) ABSTRACT This article undertakes a historical survey of university and college library developments in Canada between 1945 and 1960. It examines contemporary accounts in relation to library architecture, the acquisition and organization of collections, administrative library structures and staffing, services for faculty and students, and efforts by librarians to realize professional standing. A national review of academic libraries and librarianship expands our knowledge beyond the typical themes applied to this era: “growth” and “progress.” The architectural redefinition of libraries, the impetus to establish research collections, the maturation of academic librarianship, and the increasing complexity of library operations were prominent features in the postwar period. The gradual evolution of academic libraries toward more uniform organizational purposes and structures on a national basis following World War II can be considered a period of “midcentury modernization” that preceded the more memorable and better documented decades of the 1960s and later. Keywords: academic librarianship · Canadian college and university libraries · Canadian librarianship · Canadian library planning · library architecture · library collections RÉSUMÉ Le présent article fait un survol historique de l’évolution des bibliothèques universitaires et collégiales au Canada entre 1945 et 1960. Il examine des comptes rendus contemporains sur l’architecture des bibliothèques, l’acquisition et l’organisation des collections, les structures et la dotation en personnel des bibliothèques administratives, les services aux professeurs et aux étudiants et les efforts de professionnalisation des bibliothécaires. Un examen national des bibliothèques universitaires et de la bibliothéconomie élargit nos connaissances et transcende les thèmes caractéristiques de cette époque : « croissance » et « progrès ».
