Here today, where tomorrow? Monitoring and making sense of Government of Canada web content changes in a post-depository environment.

Abstract

Description

The Government of Canada’s web presence is constantly changing. From early Common Look and Feel Protocols to the recent Web Renewal Action Plan, content has been removed and/or replaced, sometimes captured by the Depository Services Program (DSP) or Library and Archives Canada and sometimes eliminated without any apparent archiving. Amanda Wakaruk will discuss preliminary findings from a project to monitor web consolidations and the effects of the Government of Canada's guidelines to remove content deemed “ROTten” … that is, content determined to be 'Redundant, Outdated or Trivial.' The presentation will be followed by an interactive discussion, led by CLA's Government Information Network Co-Moderators Catherine McGoveran and Michelle Lake, on the post-depository library environment in Canada. Topics of discussion will be related to how libraries are managing their government publications collections following the termination of the DSP's depository library program.
