91ÑÇÉ«-affiliated journals are or soon will be available online thanks to user-friendly software made available through a Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI) project.
CFI has granted over $11.5 million to , an initiative to promote Canadian research through the digitization and creation of digital journals in the humanities and social sciences. By participating in the CFI Synergies project, 91ÑÇÉ« Libraries can offer access to Open Journal Systems 
(OJS) software that enables journals to publish their material online.
“This project will have significance around the world,” says Cynthia Archer (right), University Librarian. “Libraries across Canada are collaborating to facilitate the digitizing, publishing and archiving of scholarly communications in electronic format. 91ÑÇÉ« Libraries is proud to be an early participant in this project.”
So far, two 91ÑÇÉ« journals – Topia: Canadian Journal of Cultural Studies and CAML Review – have used the software to make issues available online (see the of YFile). Refuge, a journal published by the Centre for Refugee Studies, and 91ÑÇÉ«’s first student newspaper, Pro Tem, will be live soon. Other titles in development include Social History and Left History. 91ÑÇÉ« Libraries are also collaborating with 91ÑÇÉ« professors who hope to create newborn digital journals, such as The Feminist Nurse.
