| Abstract | Canada's success as a modern, knowledge-based economy depends on a strong national information infrastructure that is responsive to the needs of the country's innovation system for industrial development. The Canada Institute for Scientific and Technical Information (CISTI) at the National Research Council (NRC) is uniquely positioned to meet the needs of Canadian researchers and contribute to the Canadian innovation system by providing Canadian access to worldwide scholarly scientific, technical, and medical (STM) information and by leading in the development of the national information infrastructure linking Canadian industry, academia, and government. The emerging world of electronic information is transforming scholarly communication and changing the roles of researchers, users, publishers, and librarians. Increased collaboration will be critical to maintaining a robust national information infrastructure. |
