Guiding Principles and Considerations:

The following key principles will guide our digitization strategy

 

Customer needs

To satisfy our current customers, anticipate their needs and the needs of future customers, we strive to:

  • Collect improved information about our customers' needs and expectations as it relates to digitization
  • Review and streamline systems , services and processes to better meet our customers' needs for digital records
  • Develop new educational resources for use in Ontario schools.
  • Develop a plan to focus our outreach activities where they will have the greatest impact.

 

Access to digital records

We are committed to making our digital records available to a wide range of customers and members of the public. We aim to:

  • Provide open access, free of charge where possible
  • Explore business models for paid service and revenue generation

 

Intellectual Property

To protect Intellectual Property and Copyright:

  • We will obtain permission and copyright for records we intend to digitize that fall within copyright.
  • Where rights holders cannot be identified or permission obtained, we will restrict access to the materials.
