OMDC Launches Online Research Library

Ontario Media Development Corporation announces the launch of its Online Research Library –a publicly-accessible, fully-searchable digital database of research studies on cultural media industries.
 
The library contains information and documents on cultural and entertainment media industries from a wide variety of domestic and international sources. In addition to the six sectors served by OMDC (books, interactive digital media, film and television, magazines and sound recording), the library contains a section on cultural policy, legal and regulatory issues, and trends and statistics. Documents are available for viewing or download in PDF format, or by link to the host’s website. All content in the library is made available by permission of the copyright holders.
 
The database allows users to perform full content searches of the available documents by keyword, or quick browsing of the content through category searches. Users can also suggest documents for inclusion in the library and send feedback and comments.
 
“The Online Research Library is part of our ongoing efforts to enhance the services OMDC provides as a recognized centre of knowledge and expertise for the creative media sector,” said Karen Thorne-Stone, OMDC’s President & CEO. “By making important research more widely accessible, we hope to further strengthen Ontario’s creative industries’ ability to compete successfully in global markets.”
