Hi Everyone,
CASLIS has organized tours of various libraries in Ottawa. The next upcoming tours are the Canadian War Museum Military History Research Centre and Industry Canada's Library and Knowledge Centre (where I am doing my co-op).

Tours for students from library science/studies programs working the National Capital Region:

The Canadian War Museum’s Military History Research Centre houses, in one convenient location, the George Metcalf Archival Collection and the Hartland Molson Library. These extensive national collections of primary and secondary research material document Canada’s military history from the pre-contact period to the present.
The hour-long tour will explore the library, archival, and photo collection, as well as a behind the scenes look at the storage vaults and facilities.

Industry Canada’s Library and Knowledge Centre (LKC) goes beyond traditional library services, by offering Industry Canada staff an impressive collection on such subjects as economics, manufacturing, science & technology, telecommunications and small business. Our collection includes over 63 000 print items and more than 50 specialized electronic resources, which are available right at employees’ desktops.
This tour will provide students with an opportunity to visit the LKC’s Information Commons, to learn about our vision and our innovative library services model which includes the Portfolio Service Model, newly re-designed intranet site (LibraryLink) and use of web 2.0 technology to develop a dynamic wiki space (LibraryWiki) and blog (LibraryLog).
