It is symptomatic of our growing self-confidence that Canadian literature, the very existence of which was seriously debated in academic circles a generation ago, should now be recognized as a legitimate subject of research. Already valuable pioneer work has been done by faculty members and graduate students in several Canadian, and in a few American, universities. Canadian literature remains, however, a very rich and virtually unexploited field. So far, our operations in it may be compared to those of a harvesting machine which merely removes the heads from the grain: we have still to examine the soil in which the seed grew and to investigate the process of growth.

Acquisition of Canadian literature by American libraries was investigated in three ways. Questionnaires were sent to selected large libraries in 1961 and 1971, Canadian literature titles for 1956-60 and 1965-69 were checked against the "National Union Catalog," and published literature describing major collections was examined. The Library of Congress greatly surpasses all other United States libraries in the acquisition of new titles and in the rate of increase of current acquisitions in recent years. Several other libraries tend to acquire works by established Canadian authors on a retrospective basis, but very few purchase more than 10 percent of Canada's current literary output.
