Description: In 1986 the National Library of Canada sponsored a conference on the application of Canada of the international concept of Universal Availability of Publications (UAP). UAP is a worldwide objective of the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions, supported by UNESCO, which seeks to promote the widest possible availability of publications to users. The Conference offered an opportunity for over one hundred delegates to assess the systems and structures in place to achieve availability, and to identify problems and gaps in the systems for discussion and possible improvement. This document comprises the proceedings of the Conference. It includes full texts of speeches and brief accounts of participants' questions and discussions out of which came 21 recommendations. Also includes a summary of the "Special Formats and Materials" plenary reporting and discussion group session.
