National Science Library Program

The National Science Library Program is laying the foundation for a networked STM information infrastructure that will enable more effective horizontal collaboration in the scientific community and accelerate the discovery and innovation process as called for in Canada's federal Science and Technology (S &T) strategy. Our comprehensive collection of print and electronic STM information from around the world is the foundation for the Information Intelligence Services and discovery tools we offer.

NRC-CISTI provides quick and easy on-line access to full-text journal articles, conference proceedings, books and databases as well as to personalized on-site library services.

Supporting Canada's health sector by providing cost-effective and timely access to a network of medical information, NRC-CISTI is contributing to the development of a national STM information infrastructure through partnerships with stakeholders and communities across Canada.
