Le rôle des universités dans le développement des collections numériques québécoises.

With the rise of the Web in the mid-1990s, the role and use of traditional documents, such as the paper versions of books and periodicals, has been the subject of some discussion on the part of university librarians. In addition to discussions held at meetings and conferences, librarians and other stakeholders are also involved in the scanning of collections. This article focuses on the challenges associated with the transition from analogue** to numeric versions and from the traditional to the virtual library in the universities of Québec since the end of the 1990s. The proceedings of conferences and seminars that focused on the dissemination and conservation of scanned documents helped identify some of the challenges associated with this type of collection in university libraries. With the help of a document prepared by the Bibliotheque et Archives nationales du Québec (BAnQ), the author summarizes the major scanning projects currently in progress. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
