This outline for a graduate library school course at the State University of New York at Buffalo emphasizes trends and developments in North American librarianship with primary emphasis on Canada (especially Ontario). The participation of Canadian authorities as guest lecturers and field trips to Canadian libraries are important elements in the course, which was formulated as a result of the identification and examination of relevant literature, the mailing of questionnaires to over 140 Ontario librarians, visits to Canadian libraries, interviews with persons currently active on the Canadian library scene, and attendance at professional meetings held in Ontario. The syllabus is divided into the following four units: (1) Finding Out about Canadian Libraries and Librarianship (bibliographic tools for learning about Canadian libraries and librarianship, including selected Canadian general reference tools); (2) Library Automation and Networking (Ontario academic and public library networks, progress towards the development of a national decentralized bibliographic network, bibliographic utilities, Canadian-based automation systems and options); (3) Legislation (copyright, freedom of information, payment for public use, intellectual freedom and censorship); and (4) Selected Topics (other topics of interest or controversy). Bibliographies are included for each unit, and listings of basic Canadian reference tools and where to find information on Canadian libraries and librarianship are also provided. It is noted that the course outline emphasizes developments in Canada with the understanding that the course itself will compare Canadian developments with developments in the United States. (KM)
