To All Canadian Depository Libraries

Within the next ten working days, Publishing and Depository Services (PDS) will be mailing copies of the new Depository Library Agreement to all Canadian depository libraries. The Agreement will be sent on a mini CD ROM accompanied by a printed covering letter in English and French. Any library experiencing technical difficulties with the CD will be sent print copies of the documents upon request.

Depository libraries will be asked to print and sign two copies of the agreement in the language of their choice and mail these to PDS. These copies will be signed by the Director of PDS and one signed original will be returned to the depository library by mail.

The CDs and covering letter will be sent addressed to the "Chief Librarian". The deadline for returning signed copies will be July 1, 2009.

Depository libraries outside of Canada, such as national libraries, exchange libraries and educational libraries will not be receiving this agreement for signing. Different and additional agreements are being developed for depository libraries in some of these categories while others are permanently established by international agreements.
