In the meantime, we would like to wish you all a happy holiday season and the very best for 2020.

OCUL is delighted to announce that the Omni academic search tool is in the process of going live at 14 university libraries in Ontario.
 

OCUL is moving closer to the implementation of Omni, our new consortial instance of Ex Libris’s Alma/PrimoVE library services platform. Ex Libris has confirmed that data from our 14 participating libraries migrated successfully; however they are experiencing a delay in processing the data and making it available to member libraries for verification.

The OCUL Accessibility Community invites you to join our next Virtual Huddle, on the topic of Institutional Repositories.
 

The Accessible Content ePortal (ACE) is a consortial service supported by Scholars Portal and made available collaboratively across Ontario university and college libraries. Curated by students and researchers with print disabilities for research and study purposes, this collection just exceeded 17,000 titles. Growing in response to user demand, this collection has evolved as a unique repository of accessible academic resources.
