On June 3, the Canadian Research Knowledge Network (CRKN) announced the outcome of the $47 million Digital Content Infrastructure for the Human and Social Sciences (DCI) Project, jointly funded by the Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI), 8 provinces, and 67 Canadian universities. The goal of the DCI project has been to enable interdisciplinary research through seamless and equitable access to a vast array of digital content comprising a variety of formats – fulltext e-books and e-journals, primary source collections and multimedia resources. After an extensive consultation and negotiation process, CRKN has secured national purchase and license agreements for the following products. Beginning in the fall of 2008, York University students and researchers will benefit from this extensive infusion of new digital content.
