In 2004, the National Archives of Canada and the National Library of Canada were drawn together by the Library and Archives of Canada Act to create a new knowledge institution for Canadians—Library and Archives Canada, a source of enduring knowledge and the continuing memory of the government of Canada and its institutions.
At the 2011 Annual General Meeting of the Canadian Library Association (CLA), members voted to revise the CLA Constitution and Bylaws and change the Association's organizational structure. Part of the changes to the structure was the dissolution of the Divisions, including the Canadian Association of Special Libraries and Information Services (CASLIS) as well as its chapters and section.
With the adoption of the revised CLA Constitution and Bylaws, Networks have replaced Divisions and Interest Groups as the key units through which members can lead and participate in the professional activities of the Association.
To meet the needs of the library community in Ottawa-Gatineau, a new CLA Ottawa Network has been established to build on the work of the former CLA-CASLIS Ottawa.

Developing and documenting a Records Management program with Classification Structures and Retention Schedules is a big task. Tremendous effort is applied to create the policies under which information and records management can take place. However, the vast majority of content in the enterprise is stored in repositories that do not easily conform to RM policies. Shared network drives and email archives hold the bulk of records in many organizations. They also hold volumes of out of date and irrelevant content. Applying RM policies to this environment is no easy task…but we do it every day.
By combining your Content and Polices with our Expert Classifiers and Advanced Technology we accurately and efficiently transform unstructured repositories to align with your specific classification and retention programs. The result: fewer records, organized effectively, migrated to a content management application with the required Metadata to manage each record through its lifecycle.
