Saskatchewan Legislative Library
Saskatchewan Legislative Library
The Library's mission is to further the parliamentary process in Saskatchewan by providing quality information services to the Legislative Assembly and to sustain a research and legislative collection unique to Saskatchewan. The Legislative Library's collection was founded in 1876 as a small working collection of law texts and public documents brought across the prairies by cart when Lieutenant Governor David Laird came to present day Saskatchewan to establish the Territorial government. Since then, the Library's collection has grown to be the third largest research library in the province.
The Legislative Library is a parliamentary library and as such collects extensively in areas relating to government and public policy. While these areas are of special concern, the Legislative Library strives to maintain a basic reference collection on many subjects. The Library is primarily concerned with the following areas: economics, law, parliamentary matters, political science, sociology, western Canadian history. All provincial documents on housing are collected
Saskatchewan provincial government agencies are required to deposit all publications including (since 2005) those published only in electronic format on the internet with the Legislative Library. Access to these materials is provided through the Library's catalogue at http://legislative.voyager.uregina.ca/. The electronic Saskatchewan government publications are housed in a local repository and are accessed through the catalogue records for the individual documents.
The Checklist of Government of Saskatchewan Publications is available on the web site going back to 1997. Contains citations, not full text.
New Books at the Library publicizes new material added to the Legislative Library's collection. Like the Checklist, it is available on the web site and contains citations, not full text.
