Social, economic, and political imperatives drive the direction and scope of the scientific and technical research conducted by federal agencies, but little is known about the knowledge base of government publications and the literature of Canadian science and technology.Covering the federal departments of Agriculture, Environment (including the Canadian Wildlife Service and the Meteorological Service of Canada), Fisheries and Oceans, and Natural Resources (including the Canadian Forest Service, the Earth Sciences Section, and the Geological Survey of Canada) as well as the National Research Council and Industry Canada, Brian Wilks provides a historical background, list of publications, and description of activities for most of the major science initiatives undertaken at the federal level. He surveys a wide range of government documents and monographic and serial science collections used by both faculty and students. Written primarily for science librarians and students, this comprehensive monograph will prove an invaluable addition to any science library. 606 $aResearch$zCanada 606 $aScience and state$zCanada$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aFederal aid to research$zCanada$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aScientific literature$zCanada 606 $aGovernment publications$zCanada 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aResearch 615 0$aScience and state$xHistory 615 0$aFederal aid to research$xHistory 615 0$aScientific literature 615 0$aGovernment publications 676 $a507.2/071 700 $aWilks$b Brian B.$01030329 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456291603321 996 $aBrowsing science research at the federal level in Canada$92447161 997 $aUNINA
