==Library and Archives of Canada: Policy controversies==

A number of policies introduced under Caron's directorship of [[Library and Archives of Canada]] have been considered controversial. The continuing modernization of [[Library and Archives of Canada]]'s operations has resulted in cuts to a number of services, including Interlibrary Loan.<ref>[http://www.bac-lac.gc.ca/eng/Pages/end-ill-service.aspx "End of Interlibrary Loan Services"], ''[[Library and Archives Canada]]'', date modified 6 February 2013, Retrieved 26 March 2013</ref> Caron has asserted that in place of this service, patrons will be able to request digital reproductions of items, and that other institutions across Canada will fill the need by lending out their copies of material. In cases where Library and Archives Canada hold the only copy, the institution may lend out the item.<ref>http://www.bac-lac.gc.ca/eng/news/speeches/Pages/finding-our-place-on-the-digital-shelf.aspx"Finding our Place on the Digital Shelf: Speech delivered by Daniel J.
