OCLS and College Libraries Ontario are planning for the support and ongoing improvement of Page 1+ with the aim to

  • Leverage the consortial purchasing power of the college library system,

  • Optimize the effective sharing of library resources and data, and

  • Maximize the capabilities and features available in the next-generation cloud-based Collaborative Library Services Platform.

Services and activities identified in this section represent OCLS’ best foot forward as we strive to understand how to meet the needs of the college libraries and help leverage the opportunity presented by the implementation of the Alma platform.

Each cluster represents activities that benefit from being coordinated and facilitated centrally by OCLS as the colleges’ service provider allowing the libraries to focus their resources at the local level to the benefit of students and faculty. 

Proposed activities have come forward after consultation with the relevant subcommittees, with Ex Libris, with other consortia, and by drawing upon the knowledge and expertise of the OCLS staff. The OCLS team is working to define and build out more detailed service proposals for each of the activities where necessary.
