If I don't know my IP address what can you do?
If you don't know your IP we provide a utility to allow you to look
up your IP address.
Who is this free service available to?
This service is available to all Canadians using a primarily Canadian based Internet Service Provider [ISP].
Access has already been granted to all domain names in the *.ca range and to all IP numbers registered to Canadians and companies primarily dealing with Canadians that could be identified in the "whois" database maintained by the American Registry for Internet Numbers [ARIN]
We regret that we are not able to allow access to any international ISP that does not allow us to distinguish individual user numbers. That is, if the IP numbers are assigned dynamically we cannot give access to their entire client base.
If you are not able to access these publications directly, access is guaranteed at your nearest depository library.
Who is the NRC Research Press?
The NRC Research Press is the foremost scientific publisher in Canada and one of the most advanced electronic publishing services in the world. In addition to the journals, the Press publishes a growing number of books and scientific conference proceedings each year. In 1994 NRC Research Press became part of the Canada Institute for Scientific and Technical Information or CISTI, one of the world's largest providers of scientific, technical and medical information.
Who made free access to these journals possible?
Free access to the journals is made possible by funding from the Depository Services Program of Public Works and Government Services Canada. This initiative was made possible with the support of the Treasury Board of Canada, which is responsible for overseeing the policies under which the Depository Services Program operates.
