Industry committee  It is certainly true that, of that $125 million, about $122 million is spent on international journals, if you will. However, I would add that many of those international journals include Canadian scholarly content. It's a really challenging analysis to pull out or parse out Cana

Industry committee  In terms of international scholarly journals?

Industry committee  I would say that, via CRKN and other research institutions, we will purchase whatever scholarly content we can afford and is needed, regardless of where it's produced, as long as it's supporting the research enterprise. Obviously, there's a need to support Canadian-produced schol

Industry committee  A little bit....

Industry committee  Sure. One of the comments I would make in regards to CRKN is that in our licences, we have been doing more work to allow data and text mining of the resources, which is very critical for AI.

Industry committee  CRKN members would be in favour of being able to circumvent TPMs for non-infringing purposes.

Industry committee  From the perspective of CRKN, we would continue to license material where possible and to move forward with open access collaborations and initiatives and really invest time and energy in that work.

Industry committee  I think that's a really interesting model. As I understand it, it's a way for students to access directly a whole collection of textbooks. I think some of the challenges within our institutions or within universities are around the assignment of those textbooks. It would need to

Industry committee  I could do my best. What might be really valuable is to continue to consider a very flexible act that can adapt to changing technology and changing forms of delivery. I think that would add some longevity, most certainly. If I recall correctly, your question was regarding Cenga

Industry committee  Thank you for the opportunity to join you today. On behalf of the members of the Canadian Research Knowledge Network, I want to thank each of you for your work on this important statutory review. My name is Carol Shepstone, and I am past vice-chair of the board of the Canadian Re
