Canadian Colleges to Get New Digital Databases

The Canadian Research Knowledge Network, a consortium of colleges that intends to make digital content more widely available to Canadian scholars, has received a $25-million federal grant to build new databases for material in the social sciences and humanities.

The databases will contain research on aboriginal studies, communications, multiculturalism, economics, and education, according to CBC News, and Canadian scholars are already getting excited about the project. "This is going to be huge," said Adele Reinhartz, a professor of religious studies at the University of Ottawa. --Brock Read
