Scholars Portal Day 2018: Investing in Inclusiveness
Friday, December 7th, 9:30am - 4:00pm

Snell Hall – St. James Cathedral Centre
65 Church Street, Toronto

Diversity, accessibility, and equity are more than buzzwords: as public institutions, they should be the cornerstones of all that we do. This year, the theme for Scholars Portal Day is Investing in Inclusiveness. Join the conversation about how we can sustainably design and build our services, collections, and spaces, both digital and in-person, with inclusion at the core.

The day included updates on Scholars Portal projects, a panel, and lightning talks about projects and initiatives at OCUL institutions.

The event was livestreamed and recorded. You can view recordings for individual sessions below, along with notes and slides. A playlist of the day is available on YouTube. Please note that there are some audio issues during the panel session, so you might want to turn on your captions.

Participants were invited to tweet using the hashtag #spday18
