Community Scholars Program
McMaster University Libraries is pleased to announce a partnership with the Community Scholars Program.
The Community Scholars Program (CSP) is led nationally by Simon Fraser University Library and in Ontario by McMaster University Libraries. CSP provides staff working in non-profits and charitable organizations with free access to academic journals and research.
Many researchers in Canada and around the world are studying social problems and possible solutions and publishing their findings in peer-reviewed journals. These journals are mostly inaccessible to the more than 170,000 non-profit and charitable organizations in Canada doing critical work on social issues including poverty alleviation, homelessness, education, and health care -- unless they are affiliated with a university. CSP provides staff working at these organizations with access to academic titles at no cost. In addition, the program provides research support and consultations with librarians.
