hosting of JSC website by LAC

An Autocat post on June 28, 2009 mentioned the move of the JSC website from 
Library and Archives Canada's (LAC) servers to an independent server.  LAC 
has hosted the JSC site for several years dating back to a time when 
commercial hosting services were not as abundant as today.  Over the years, 
the JSC site was one of the more popular areas on the LAC website.  In this 
past year, websites on Government of Canada servers became subject to more 
stringent requirements and re-building the JSC website to meet those 
requirements was simply not feasible.  Also, the JSC webmaster/secretary 
now has immediate and direct control over the site instead of having to 
wait for LAC staff to upload changes.

LAC continues to be an active member of the Joint Steering Committee 
through its role as the parent body and secretariat of the Canadian 
Committee on Cataloguing and as one of the Committee of Principals. 

For information on LAC's plans for implementation of RDA, please see this
