Ontario Digital Library goes online as "Knowledge Ontario"
From http://www.knowledgeontario.ca/
Knowledge Ontario (formerly the Ontario Digital Library) is a province-wide collaboration of libraries (public, school, college and university), archives, museums, heritage organizations, educational institutions, and community groups to create an integrated, and interactive digital environment about, and for, Ontarians.
Knowledge Ontario is an innovative venture designed to support the information and learning needs of Ontarians. The suite of programs and services currently includes six components: Resources Ontario, Our Ontario, Ask Ontario, Video Ontario, Teach Ontario, and Connect Ontario. Knowledge Ontario supports four main objectives:
- Access and Research
- Collaboration
- Creating Critical Content
- Literacy and Learning
Our vision
- Establishing equity in the availability of, and access to, digital information resources in Ontario
- Maximizing Ontarians’ potential to develop their information, learning and thinking skills
- Enabling Ontarians to be more connected and competitive in the knowledge economy
- Promoting excellence and innovation by delivering high-quality learning resources and services
- Providing trusted (“better than the Internet”) access to information products and services
Check the Background and the Mission and Objectives links for more information about Knowledge Ontario as a whole. Our Programs and Services page provides an overview of all of the KO components.
The Knowledge Ontario initiative is supported by the Government of Ontario.
