2003: Negotiations with SHIRP

In 2003, HKN welcomes the University of Saskatchewan as a subscriber, paving the way for the Saskatchewan Health Information Resources Program (SHIRP) to join in the following year. Through the SHIRP subscription, Saskatchewan is able to extend e-health resources to its Universities, technical school, health regions, and health care practitioners across the province. Librarians, Susan Powelson and Janet Bangma, are instrumental in bringing the SHIRP vision to fruition as they select HKN as its consortium.
