1997-1999: Planning

After the Alberta Health Knowledge Network’s founding in 1994, a management group is struck to explore and make recommendations on how HKN should move forward from a grant-funded project to a self-sustaining entity. Librarians and stakeholders from the University of Alberta and the University of Calgary participate in several planning meetings to create a long-term business plan for 1997-1999. This plan included discussions on the consortium’s guiding principles and governance structure, and how to market HKN’s services to post-secondary and health sector organizations in Alberta.
