Administrative and reference files
The series consists of editions of the newsletter "Library Developments," copies of the Library Act, and a variety of memoranda and circulars sent to the director of the Library Services branch from other government branches and divisions. Many of the files appear to have been kept as reference material by the Library Services branch and do not relate directly to the branch’s routine functions. The records outline general government policy concerning use of technology, emergency procedures, awards, training needs, retrieval of records in times of litigation, and the online publication of government employees’ email addresses. Very few of the memoranda were sent specifically to the Library Services branch and were usually addressed to all directors within the Ministry.
