Objective – The Depository Services Program (DSP) provided printed Government of Canada publications to libraries until the termination of its distribution program in 2013. Full Depository Libraries (FDLs) received all eligible publications distributed by the DSP automatically. This study endeavours to determine whether academic library members of the Canadian Association of Research Libraries (CARL) that were formerly FDLs have maintained their print, federal government holdings since 2013; and what the results of the data collected in this study reveal about access to government information in Canada more broadly. Methods – The study identified a sample of 100 monographs distributed to FDLs via the DSP between 1979 and 2009. Each monograph was then searched for in the public catalogues of former FDL CARL member libraries to determine current holdings. Results – Most libraries included in the sample did not have records of all 100 publications, but every publication was located in at least 5 libraries and 12 publications were found in all libraries included in the study. Of the libraries in our sample, 1/3 had retained more than 90 of 100 publications, and 3/4 had retained at least 80. Conclusion – The redundancy that was a cornerstone of the DSP network still exists to a certain extent and should be leveraged to ensure retention and access to these essential materials for years to come. Existing collaborations and partnerships are well positioned to support a pan-Canadian discussion about preservation of and access to historical federal government information in Canadian libraries and library networks.

The 2008 financial crisis has clearly shown the weakness of the banking system and of the applicable rules known as Basel II. In December 2010, the Basel Committee has presented its recommendations, the reply to strengthen the resilience of the banking system to face further economic and financial crises. The introduction is foreseen over a period of 5 years from 2013 on. These new rules will affect banks and in particular cooperative banks, who are, due to their organization, will have to implement these rules at all levels of their structure. Basel III will have an influence on organization and on the availability of capital resources at all levels of these organizations. Market solutions and structured finance products can help cooperative banks to solve the question how to make available the resources where needed.

While falling into the epistemological debate occurring in the systemic current between the functionalist school and the phenomenological supporters, this article does not intend to expand on the ideological biases of these two currents. This article presents the ecosystemic perspective as a magnifying glass to observe the relations between the actors involved in the field of a child's mental health, beyond these contexts. In the first part, we present some general considerations regarding the ecosystemic perspective through its seizure as an in-between of an epistemology that evolved from constructivist relativism to a behavioural determinism. The second part of this article focuses on the relevance of the use of the ecosystemic perspective in the study of relationships between the actors involved, by providing support to the children's mental health services. In the third part, we will attempt to define the notion of relationship from an ecosystemic perspective. The fourth part will be a review of the meeting places within the field of a child's mental health, taking the ecosystemic as an institutional and non-institutional issue. Finally, the fifth and final part will afford us the opportunity to de-compartmentalize the field of child mental health by illustrating the rational process of the relational ecosystem.

Before colonialism, customs in Cameroon, as in all black African countries, constituted the only source of law. But with the arrival of the colonialists, an attempt was made to abolish these customary laws by replacing them with imported law. After independence, the colonialist passed on the relay to the legislator. Unfortunately, the imposed foreign law lacked authenticity as the local population showed indifference and demonstrated hostility against it, such that there exists today a discrepancy between applicable written law and applied customary laws in certain matters of personal nature. Customs as a source of law is a reality in Cameroon. Hense, instead of destroying customary laws, it would be judicious and a welcomed measure to promote a kind of complementarity which would result in a symbiosis of the two. Customs, notwithstanding its limitations, remain a concept to be discovered.

The influence of the publication of rights on the acquisitive prescription has clearly arisen during the Civil Code reform. The legislator had an ambition to confer the publication of rights a probative force that relegates the acquisitive prescription to a second level. This ambitious reform required an immovable property registration. In waiting for its implementation, the transitional provisions suspended the application of the rule which allows the establishment of the system. In 2000, this reform was abandoned and many provisions in the Code were amended and repealed. This new situation leads to a certain confusion about the role of the publication of rights, confusion always perceptible today. At the end of August 2015, the Québec Court of Appeal made a decision that revealed the dangerous relations between publication of rights and acquisitive prescription. A diachronic analysis of this legislative saga will allow a more comprehensive explanation of the different sides of the publication of rights.
