Knowledge Ontario works in collaboration with Ontario government libraries to offer digital services to clients at library, at work, at hospital or community centre, and at home.

Our Ontario online discovery of history, culture and digital collections
Knowledge Ontario and Ontario government libraries
Knowledge Ontario acts as an extension of the services and resources you offer through the government Intranet, in hospitals, health centres, the legislature and wherever public servants may be in Ontario.
Knowledge Ontario supports the business of government and policy development. And we support the health information and medical needs of hospitals and community care centres.
Recognizing the clients of government libraries are specialized users with subject requirements, we help you provide the specific and highly accurate information they require. This includes current affairs, periodicals and newspapers of all sorts, government documents and much more. These resources support your work and can act to increase your profile and the relevance your users find in your services and resources – especially in tough economic times when it’s important to prove your worth. And we appreciate the many ways you and your colleagues support Knowledge Ontario, including through your participation on committees.
