Our Mission
To help faculty discover and select relevant new titles and course readings in the social sciences and humanities from books published by academic, literary, and university presses.
Who Are We?
Canadian CourseReadings is a non-profit consortium of Canadian publishing houses.
We’re new, and we’re unique!
For our subscribers
We offer simultaneous, unlimited digital access to Canadian academic materials from independent Canadian publishers. This allows instructors and students to easily access Canadian books for course and research use.
For visiting academic users
Our platform supports a new way to browse, discover, and select reading materials for use in your courses. You can browse our full collection to build a custom collection of course readings.
- We provide you with the information your Copyright and Licensing office needs for obtaining the collection and distributing it to your students.
- We supply your collection as a digital PDF, and can also supply it in print format.
- Once we receive an order for your collection from your institution, we deliver it digitally.
- Each chapter is priced individually by its publisher, usually at 10-12 cents per page. As you put together a collection, our site tracks the price per copy. We supply copies to your copyright office or your campus bookstore at the price you see, plus an additional processing fee.
- This site is free to use. Once you register as a user, you can view unlimited full-text previews of all material on the site and start to build your custom collections.
