The Global Resources Network (GRN) is a collaborative initiative of CRL and higher academic research institutions to support international studies through the preservation and exchange of knowledge and source materials.

The GRN’s mission:

• To expand access to information resources from all world regions.
• To promote coordinated approaches to collection building and collaborative mechanisms for discovery, presentation, delivery, and preservation of international materials.

To achieve these goals, the GRN fosters, supports, and coordinates activities among North American and overseas participants to build new collections and enhance access to existing resources.

CRL provides administrative, technical, legal, financial management, and communications support for the regular activities of the GRN and its related projects.
