National Library of Canada Launches “Publishers’ Window” on Web

Ottawa, September 10, 1997  --  The National Library of Canada today launched a one-stop service point on the World Wide Web for federal government information of interest to Canadian publishers. The site, “Publishers’ Window on the Government of Canada”, offers easy access to sources of federal government information relevant to the publishing industry.

Canadian government information on topics such as legal deposit, copyright, trade data, export assistance, publishing support programs, and industry studies can be found through the “Publishers’ Window”. These government information resources are located on a variety of federal government Internet sites, and the “Publishers’ Window” brings them all together in an organized collection of links, compiled and annotated by the National Library of Canada. Each link also includes the name of the originating department for a specific document or service on the Web.

The “Publishers’ Window on the Government of Canada” will be updated as new federal information of interest to the Canadian publishing industry becomes available on the Web. The “Publishers’ Window” can be viewed at: www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/window/index-e.html
