Through the coordinated leadership of librarians, researchers, and administrators, CRKN undertakes large-scale content acquisition and licensing initiatives in order to build knowledge infrastructure and research capacity in Canada’s universities.CRKN is governed by a national Board of Directors, and administers an annual budget currently in excess of $50 million.

Through the enhancement of existing CRKN national digital content infrastructure, this project will build new capacity for research in the human and social sciences, as well as multi- and inter- disciplinary research in Canada, and ultimately contribute to improving the lives of Canadians.
