- 1. Getting Connected or Staying Unplugged: The Growing Use of Computer Communications Services ArchivedArticles and reports: 63F0002X1999027Description:
Computer communications occur when someone connects a computer to a communications network to access information on the Internet, to send and receive e-mail, or to use electronic banking services. This article uses 1998 data to update previous estimates of the proportion of Canadian households regularly using computer communications, analyzing the relationships between usage and location of use, household income, and other demographic factors. The article also looks at the growth of household connectedness over the past year, as well as the time spent using computer communications from home for a variety of services that can be accessed through the Internet.
Release date: 1999-12-24 - 2. A profile of NLSCY schools ArchivedArticles and reports: 81-003-X19980044654Geography: CanadaDescription:
The analysis of NLSCY school data presented in this article begins by exploring principals' evaluations of the adequacy of their schools' resources. Next, the presence, activity and influence of school advisory committees are examined. Following this, the article looks at the levels of regular staff and special resource staff are considered. The paper ends by describing a few features associated with students attending NLSCY schools.
Release date: 1999-07-30 - Articles and reports: 88-003-X19990014623Geography: CanadaDescription:
A new framework developed by Statistics Canada's, Science, Innovation and Electronic Information Division classifies the science and technology (S&T) process into activities - the generation, transmission and use of knowledge - as well as linkages and outcomes. By asking some essential questions, the framework can help us better understand the relationship between science and technology and other activities and, ultimately, its impact on society.
Release date: 1999-07-23 - Articles and reports: 88-003-X19990014627Geography: CanadaDescription:
Twenty years ago, it was rare for a university to patent an invention, create a spin-off company or license a technology - the priority was to "publish or perish." But according to the results of a new pilot survey, the catch phrase might well become "patent or publish". In 1997-98, Canada's universities registered 143 new patents and licensed 243 technologies, bringing in almost $16 million in royalties.
Release date: 1999-07-23 - Surveys and statistical programs – Documentation: 11-534-XDescription:
This report describes the Electronic Publications Pilot (EPP) which was conducted to gather knowledge on how library staff and their clients are adjusting to the Internet. The pilot was conducted from September 1996 to September 1997 as a joint initiative of Statistics Canada and the Depository Services Program (DSP), in partnership with the depository library community. The objective of the pilot was to assess the impact of replacing print publications with electronic equivalents via the Internet in DSP libraries. This objective was based on an assumption that the electronic medium will complement print rather than replace it entirely and that departments will continue to produce some print publications in the future. The major conclusions of the pilot cover resources and training, web site feedback, selection of publications for conversion to electronic format, web site access and security, publication functionality and access and archiving.
