Canadian Research Knowledge Network (CRKN) has released 75,497 MARC records for the Canadiana Online collection. MARC records are now available for 85 percent of the monographs currently in the Canadiana Online collection. Early in 2019, MARC records for the remaining Canadiana Online monographs, as well as for periodicals, government publications, and newspapers in the collection will also be available.
Going forward, as new items are added to Canadiana Online, MARC records for this new content will be available every six months. To be alerted by email when new MARC records are available, interested parties can sign-up for the CRKN newsletter and select ‘MARC records' under 'Send me news from'.
If the library subscribed to Early Canadiana Online (ECO), one can add the Canadiana Online collection to their catalogue. ECO is a subset of Canadiana Online, and new material is being added to Canadiana Online regularly. Canadiana Online includes the 6 million pages of ECO content as well as an additional 13 million pages of monographs, periodicals, annuals and newspapers. As of January 2019, the subscription paywall to the Canadiana collections will be removed and access to these collections will be available at no charge to users.
