Among the more than 1,500 publications in the CNOM collection, around 650 are exclusive documents that highlight the CNOM’s activities and Morocco’s participation in the Olympic Games. The portal also provides access to the CNOM’s Studies and Documentation Centre and its Digital Olympic Academy.
“After several months of work on data migration, the CNOM is proud to be among the pioneering NOCs to join the OWL, contributing to the promotion of the Olympic values, providing access to its documentation related to sport and Olympism, and preserving its history and Olympic heritage for the widest possible audience,” Chekroun added.
“As the global centre of reference for Olympic knowledge, the development of the Olympic World Library Partner network represents an important strategic pillar for the Olympic Studies Centre moving forward,” said Bogner. “We know that many institutions in the Olympic Movement have important reference libraries, but struggle to make these visible and accessible. By joining the OWL network, not only do they benefit from a low-cost turn-key solution to professionalise the management of their library, they also maximise the visibility of their collection to a worldwide audience.”
