The New Canadian Electronic Library

 

For almost 20 years the Canadian Electronic Library was used by hundreds of Canadian libraries as an authoritative source for Canadian E-books, government and policy documents.

Trojman Corporation and Coherent Digital have developed a new version with more content and a new platform - Canada Commons.

Canadian Books and Think Tanks is used by all kinds of libraries - academic, corporate, government, legal and public. It brings rare, hard-to-find content from Canada that’s relevant to a wide range of studies including sociology, anthropology, business and economics.
