You may have noticed that the K-6 and 7-12 links on our homepage have disappeared.
We removed these links as access to these K-12 e-resources was provided through the Knowledge Ontario eResources Portal which was discontinued December 31, 2012.
Initially created with funding provided by the Province of Ontario, the Knowledge Ontario eResources portal provided access to databases for all Ontarians, with a goal towards providing greater digital equity. When government funding was cancelled, the eResources portal continued until December 31, 2012 as a shared service among school boards, colleges, universities and special libraries in Ontario.
The University of Toronto Libraries continues to subscribe to a number of the K-12 databases previously included in the Knowledge Ontario eResources portal, and continues to make these available to members of the University of Toronto community. Using your UTORid and password, you will continue to be able to access eResources including Canada in Context, Kids InfoBits, Career Cruising, Info Trac Junior, Teen Health and Wellness, and Educator’s Reference Complete. Our Ontario continues to be freely available.
If there are other K-12 e-resources which we should acquire, please email your suggestions to monique.flaccavento@utoronto.ca.
