BC Books Online was created for anyone interested in BC-published books, and with librarians especially in mind. We'd like to make it easy for library staff to learn about books from BC publishers - both new releases and backlist titles - so you can inform your patrons and keep your collections up to date.
Our site features print books and ebooks - both new releases and backlist titles - all of which are available to order through regular trade channels. Browse our subject categories to find books of interest or create and export lists by category to cross-reference with your library's current collection.
A quick tip: When reviewing the "Browse by Category" listings, please note that these are based on standardized BISAC Subject Codes supplied by the books' publishers. You will find additional selections, grouped by theme or region, in our "BC Reading Lists."
In 2020 Visions, Crawford Kilian uses British Columbia's troubled educational system as a microcosm for the problems faced by the educational systems across North America.
According to Kilian, the Canadian education system is in crisis and in its present state should be dismantled because society has outgrown it, our economy can no longer afford it, and parents and students often cannot find what they require of it.
2020 Visions offers a clear portrait of Canada's education system, and a visionary assessment of its possibilities.
