Our Purpose
North: the Canadian Shared Print Network/ Nord: Réseau canadien de conservation partagée des documents imprimés is a national shared print network that coordinates the activities of existing regional shared print initiatives and provides a path to participation for other interested libraries not yet in a shared print program. This national program provides a means to consolidate print collections while ensuring long-term content retention and access for users. All categories of print (monographs, serials, government documents) will be considered, and the primary focus will be on Canadian materials.
