Abstract

This paper looks at the state of networking activities of the science and technology libraries operating in the academic, private, and public domains of Canada. A recent survey showed these libraries to be very involved with automation and engaged in various cooperative endeavors, both internal and external to the library's organization. However, when a network was defined as being a "formally constituted group of libraries that uses the services of one or more library processing facility for one or more common purposes", very few sci-tech libraries were found to be networking. Some of the reasons for this are given and the implications for the future are explored.
