The Canadian Research Knowledge Network (CRKN) has completed the second phase of the Indigenous Subject Headings project. This project is part of our ongoing efforts to update the Canadiana collections and infrastructure with community-supported improvements, and will result in a better experience for researchers seeking content in Canadiana by and about Indigenous communities.
The CRKN Member Summit and AGM will take place from Wednesday, October 2 to Friday, October 4, 2024, in Ottawa, ON at the Ottawa Marriott Hotel (100 Kent St.)
