The Global Resources Network (GRN) is a voluntary
and collaborative initiative of higher academic research institutions
to expand and enhance access to international scholarly resources.
The GRN embraces two main goals:
- To expand the depth, breadth, quantity, range of formats, and variety of international information resources not currently available to North American students and scholars.
- To make dispersed collections more interdependent and complementary through coordinated acquisitions combined with powerful systems for access, discovery, presentation, and delivery.
To pursue these goals, the GRN fosters, supports and coordinates discrete projects among North American and overseas participants to build cooperative collections and access mechanisms. The GRN also provides a framework for leadership and development of coordinated acquisitions strategies that minimizes unnecessary duplication and supports enhanced access to existing collections.
The Center for Research Libraries provides administrative, technical, legal, financial management, and communications support for the regular activities of the GRN and its related projects.
