Bibliographical Practices in a Time of Transition: Concluding Remarks‪.‬

The intersection of bibliography and digital technology in Canada today creates crucial questions both for libraries and for the future of bibliography. How is digital technology transforming bibliographical practice? How to deal with the sudden proliferation of digital acquisitions? How can the worlds of academia, technology, government, and libraries themselves benefit from this new landscape and work together? Several important points were raised by other presenters at this conference. This paper will reflect on the challenges faced by Library and Archives Canada (LAC) in the new digital environment, consider the impact of digital technology on bibliographical practices, and pose some questions for further thought.
