Programs & Services

CRKN’s programs and services are provided to aid members in building research capacity in Canada’s universities. In many ways, they are the most practical expression of the organization’s values, goals and reason for being.

CRKN’s most important initiative is its content licensing program. Through its innovative licensing agreements, CRKN provides desktop access to electronic versions of scholarly journals and research databases for 73 participating universities across Canada. Currently, more than 2200 scholarly journals are available online to over 650,000 university researchers and students.

CRKN is also actively engaged in evaluation programs designed to measure the impact of our activities on research and innovation in Canadian universities. Evaluations also offer our members the opportunity to contribute to the improvement of CRKN’s library of publications, and to make our processes and activities more effective and practical.

Additionally, CRKN hosts and participates in numerous events and meetings throughout the year. Meetings bring members together to share information and experience, and to plan for the future – as well as furthering our goal of strengthening Canada’s research community network.
