CKOL: Documentation on Health and Social Services in English-Speaking Quebec

The Community Knowledge Open Library (CKOL), created by the Quebec English-Speaking Communities Research Network (QUESCREN), Concordia University, is a growing online repository of documents from groups and stakeholders serving and working with English-speaking communities in Quebec. The objective of the current project for which we are seeking funding is to add material related to health and social services in English-speaking Quebec to the existing CKOL database.

This material will be gathered from existing project partners, and we will establish new partnerships with members of the Community Health and Social Services Network (CHSSN), from whom we will also start obtaining CKOL material. Integrating new documents into this user-friendly one-stop database will increase access to knowledge through an enriched CKOL database. This will make it easier for stakeholders to meet the health care and social service needs of English speakers in Quebec.
