Description
It is unlikely that terms like `computer-guru', `code-wrangler' or `programmer' would appear anywhere in a lexicon of Clerkly descriptors. However, a casual stroll through the Committees Branch of the Ontario Legislature in 1999, would have uncovered a group of Clerks gathered about a computer terminal discussing the flexibility of their new search engine, how to most effectively implement `wildcards' in their SQL queries, or how to quickly retrieve statistics on the number of written submissions tabled at hearings held five years ago. This article looks at how the Clerks of the Ontario Legislative Assembly used technology to help them do their work. Not long ago, had you asked Ontario Clerks whether they felt a pressing need for computer gadgetry you might have been greeted with a snort of disdain. The old quill-and-paper method was quite sufficient thank you very much! But with the rest of the world racing forward at megahertz speed, increasing the demand for almost instantaneous access to information, the Clerks at the Committees Branch in Ontario began to consider the benefits of office automation.
