Do Canadian Children Have A Right To Be Intellectually Free?, Margaret Ann Wilkinson, Lynne Mckechnie
Do Canadian Children Have A Right To Be Intellectually Free?, Margaret Ann Wilkinson, Lynne Mckechnie
Margaret Ann Wilkinson
The purpose of this study is to examine some aspects of the issue of children's access to information through public libraries in Canada. Voluntary professional codes of ethics and intellectual freedom manifestos of the American and Canadian Library Associations, as well as current commentary and reported practices of children's librarianship, were examined. These sources contained evidence that both policies which support open access and policies restricting access to information for children exist. Some aspects of relevant international and Canadian law were then analyzed to determine whether the state has imposed any limitations on children's access to information. A tension was …
Beyond Librarianship: Are Librarians Becoming Isolated In The New Information Age?, Margaret Ann Wilkinson, Roma Harris
Beyond Librarianship: Are Librarians Becoming Isolated In The New Information Age?, Margaret Ann Wilkinson, Roma Harris
Margaret Ann Wilkinson
This paper continues a series exploring the perceptions of entering university students about the roles of librarians and others. A model developed by Elizabeth Graddy, suggesting that the extent to which an occupation receives legal sanction reflects the public's perception of its social relevance, is tested. While Graddy's focus on the relationships between occupations and the public, rather on conditions within various professions, is reinforced as predicting an occupation's ability to meet the challenges of a changing society, the data from this study demonstrate more predictive variables than those identified by Graddy. A more complex view of the future of …

The Effects Of Entry Arrangement On Search Times: A Cross-Generational Study, Margaret Ann Wilkinson, Patricia V. Burt, M.T. Kinnucan
Margaret Ann Wilkinson
To test the effects of a vertical versus a horizontal arrangement of brief structured text entries on known-item search times, 2 groups of 12 women university graduates with mean ages of 71 years and 33 years respectively took part in an experiment. Subjects were classified as either having or not having library reference experience. They were asked to locate and answer factual questions concerning thesaurus entries arranged in each format. The important data unit for analysis was the difference in time for each subject rather than the actual times. Results indicated that differences in search times were proportionately the same …

Mentor, Mercenary Or Melding: An Empirical Inquiry Into The Role Of The Laywer, Margaret Ann Wilkinson, Terra Strong, Peter Mercer
Margaret Ann Wilkinson
This article examines the two models for the role of lawyers (the "counselor" approach and the "hired gun" approach) as espoused in legal literature. It then looks at the guidance given lawyers in Ontario, Canada, in choosing between the two roles in the Professional Conduct Handbook of The Law Society of Upper Canada. The Article then compares those models and the Law Society's directives concerning them, to the actual roles practiced by lawyers as members of the Ontario Bar. The purpose of this Article is to determine the way in which the roles adopted by practising lawyers compare to the …
Perceptual Differences In Approaches To Censorship Information Intermediaries And The Implementation Of Law, Margaret Ann Wilkinson
Perceptual Differences In Approaches To Censorship Information Intermediaries And The Implementation Of Law, Margaret Ann Wilkinson
Margaret Ann Wilkinson
Censorship exists wherever there is preselection of information made available to a particular group of potential users-that is, wherever there is an information intermediary between the information source and the user. Therefore, one cannot ask whether or not there should be censorship. Nor is it realistic to declare that freedom of expression should override censorship. A more useful approach is to ask what checks and balances should be in place to ensure freedom of expression and other basic information rights in the face of the necessity and reality of the information selection process. Two forms of legal intervention have been …
Shifting The Balance Of Copyright Control For Photographic Works In Canada, Margaret Ann Wilkinson, Charles Painter
Shifting The Balance Of Copyright Control For Photographic Works In Canada, Margaret Ann Wilkinson, Charles Painter
Margaret Ann Wilkinson
This case comments upon the recent Ontario Divisional Court decision in Allen v Toronto Star Newspapers Ltd (1997), 36 OR (3d) 201 (Ont Div Ct), focusing upon the issue of ownership of copyright in photogenic works in Canada, and the negative effects that this decision will ahve, if followed in other cases and jurisdictions, upon creators' ability to control their works and to derive full economic benefit therefrom as envisioned under Canada's Copyright Act, RSC 1985 c C-42.
Whither Industrial Design, Margaret Ann Wilkinson, Amy Muhlstein
Whither Industrial Design, Margaret Ann Wilkinson, Amy Muhlstein
Margaret Ann Wilkinson
The scope of the Industrial Design Act in Canada is much narrower than the concept of industrial designs, as original and unique manufactured objects, in industry. Indeed, the Industrial Design Act applies only to the aspects of industrial designs which we have described as the design aspects. Similar protection of the design aspects of industrial designs exist in Britain and the United States, although, as discussed, these protections take different forms in each jurisdiction. Although some of the aspects of industrial designs other than the design aspects receive no intellectual property protection in any of the three jurisdictions, others are …
Do Codes Of Ethics Actually Shape Legal Practice?, Margaret Ann Wilkinson, Christa Walker, Peter Mercer
Do Codes Of Ethics Actually Shape Legal Practice?, Margaret Ann Wilkinson, Christa Walker, Peter Mercer
Margaret Ann Wilkinson
In theory, professional codes of conduct are supposed to assist lawyers in choosing the appropriate course of action when they are faced with an ethical dilemma and it is expected that lawyers will, in practice, turn to such codes for guidance. A recent research initiative undertaken by legal scholars at the University of Western Ontario sought to examine the effectiveness of codes of ethics in maintaining standards of behaviour within the legal profession in Ontario by examining the kinds of ethical problems confronting lawyers in that province and the extent to which they were resolved through the use of professional …
