Abstract
Early education for librarianship in Canada was heavily influenced by personalities and relationships. There was a strong American influence on both form and content. This is particularly evident in the Toronto experience. Education in the city followed several distinct phases: in house or apprenticeship training, short courses offered by the provincial Department of Education, library institutes run by the Ontario Library Association, and finally a school operating within the University of Toronto. The University of Toronto granted a degree in Library Science for the first time in 1928.
