VITA and the 2022 Annual Survey of Ontario Public Libraries How to make your collections count Your VITA collection content counts! Ministry hints: ‘Original’ items the item in original formats (e.g. an original photograph or pamphlet). ‘Digital’ items include digitized copies of original items (e.g. a digital version of an original raph). Include the number of records from your VITA Collection Monthly Statistical Snapshot from January 1 2022. You can include items you’ve digitized, born- digital items you’ve uploaded to VITA, and user- contributed items that have been uploaded and approved for your site. Log into VITA Data Management and view your Monthly Statistical Snapshot: Manage Application Agency Management Use the number of records in your collection—this will account for every record with or without a file, including a record for a photo, a record for a newspaper issue, and an index record with no file. 2023-02-27
