CFI boosts online access to scholarly content in the social sciences and humanities

On February 8, 2007, the Canada Foundation for Innovation announced a $19.1-million investment to support the development of a new infrastructure for social sciences and humanities research. The funds were awarded to the Canadian Research Knowledge Network (CRKN), a consortium of Canadian universities that provides its members with desktop access to a wide range of research content through licensing and purchase agreements with Canadian and international publishers. The University of Ottawa will be the host institution for this new national infrastructure.
