This article describes a verification study (Conspectus) carried out at the National Library of Canada in Ottawa during a four-month study period. It discusses some of the problems encountered and decisions required in executing the study for post-1914 English Canadian literature, and is divided into three sections: preliminary steps, methodological steps and computer implications. A secondary objective is to provide some useful guidelines for others who intend to carry out verification studies in literature. It ultimately reveals the extent to which a country's literary publication and available bibliographical tools play a significant part in the design of the study.
