CNIB is in the process of converting its collection of 20,000 audio titles in analogue format into digital (DAISY) format. It is not likely that all 20,000 titles will be converted due to timeliness, natural library weeding processes, or deterioration, but a significant portion will be converted.

CNIB has implemented a digital repository and storage handling system, as well as e-delivery of content (The CNIB Digital Library and Children’s Discovery Portal) in English and French.
