Projects
The Electronic Text Centre assists stakeholders in the creation and use of electronic journals, scholarly research collections, multimedia databases, and online publishing applications. The Centre also provides access to cultural heritage resources and works with partners to ensure their long term digital preservation.
Centre collections and services are closely linked to Centre research. Advancements in technologies for accessing, sharing, and managing digital content are made possible through collaborations between research and development groups. The Centre welcomes ideas for new projects that explore technical innovations in scholarly communication.
