Description
ACE, the Accessible Content E-Portal, connects students with a growing repository of accessible format texts. OCLS and the colleges' AODA Committee has partnered with the Ontario Council of University Libraries (OCUL) to provide participating Ontario colleges access to the Accessible Content E-Portal (ACE), a growing repository of accessible format texts.

Connect to ACE
Eligible ACE users and library staff can browse or search their library's collection of accessible format texts by logging in to ACE with their assigned User or Admin Token. For tips on navigating the portal, please review the ACE tutorials on the OCLS website [link to http://ocls.ca site - ACE page?].
Digitization Requests
Library staff at participating institutions may submit a digitization request for eligible items from their library's print collection. Please follow the ACE Digitization Guide and carefully review the Digitization Checklist before submitting a digitization request. Refer to the ACE Resources before shipping your item. ACE users who would like to request an accessible format should contact their library.
If you have any questions about the digitization process for colleges, contact us at askON@ocls.ca.
If you need help making or tracking a digitization request, contact us at askON@ocls.ca or reach out directly to Scholars Portal (ace@scholarsportal.info, 416-946-8616).
If you need to cancel your digitization request, log in to the ACE staff portal, find the digitization request you would like to cancel under My Active Requests, and cancel the request.
