In 1999, the Canadian National Site Licensing Project (CNSLP) was created with the support of 64 Canadian universities and funding from the Canada Foundation for Innovation and provincial governments. Its goal was to bolster the research and innovation capacity of Canada’s universities by licensing electronic versions of scholarly publications on a national scale. Over time this work would grow and the CNSLP became more formalized, ultimately being incorporated as a non-profit corporation, the Canadian Research Knowledge Network (CRKN).
