This is the KNET meeting place (created 01/2009) for the On-Demand Book Service (ODBS) Project, design to be a place to archive our work as it develops, as well as a way to engage the FN communities.

The goal of the ODBS is to support the joy of reading in rural and isolated First Nations communities in collaboration with community members, within the context of learning, knowledge sharing and history recording.

ODBS Project Overview (Welcome!)

The On Demand Book Service initiative is a collaborative project between the Faculty of Information at the University of Toronto and Keewaytinook Okimakanak to develop strategies to support the development of information resources and services in remote and rural First Nations. The purpose of the On-Demand Book Service (ODBS) is to support the joy of reading in rural and isolated First Nations communities within the context of learning, knowledge sharing and history recording. Using either free online content via a web portal that is developed by community members, or using content developed by the local community, the user can create physical copies of texts using ODBS printing and bookbinding equipment.
