I am currently on research leave (until September 2016) to develop an online registry of Canadian government information digitization projects. My goal is for the registry to be a resource for both the library community and for researchers. For researchers, it will function as a centralized access point for digitized government documents and publications. For the library community, it will also function as a resource for confirming whether a particular publication, document or serial has been digitized, so that we are making the best use of limited resources for digitization by reducing duplication. I hope to also add functionality which would allow libraries to find partners for digitization projects if they have resources to share or require resources that others may be able to provide.

I've created this blog as a space to post information about the registry and to seek feedback from the library community as it develops. Please feel free to leave comments via this blog, or contact me at margaret.wall@utoronto.ca. All input is welcome and appreciated!
