The University of Toronto Scarborough Library was awarded funding from Council on Library & Information Resources for a major digitization project. “Unlocking Tamil Historical Archives: Digital Access and Contextualization of the S.J.V. Chelvanayakam Fonds” project received over $264,000 in funding. This two-year project aims to digitize and describe/contextualize (in both Tamil and English) the S.J.V. Chelvanayakam fonds (and related fonds) held at the University of Toronto Scarborough Library. 

On March 17, the U of T Scarborough Library is excited to celebrate Green Open Access (OA) Day – a grassroots, library-led initiative highlighting the importance of self-archiving, also known as Green OA. Self-archiving makes it possible for authors to deposit a version of their scholarly work – such as journal articles, conference papers, or book chapters – into an open repository without paying additional publisher fees to make their work freely available.
