The First Nations Information Connection...

...is an initiative of the University of Alberta Libraries in collaboration with First Nations institutions and in partnership with Alberta Advanced Education and Technology, Sun Microsystems, OCLC, and Nexen Inc.

The First Nations Information Connection (FNIC) Portal was formally launched November 13, 2008 at the Blackfoot Crossing Historical Park, Siksika Nation, Alberta.

First Nations colleges in Alberta have online access through the FNIC to their own collections and a wide selection of academic materials shared by other post-secondary institutions in the province. The First Nations Information Connection allows students and faculty in seven First Nations educational institutions to take full advantage of the Lois Hole Campus Alberta Digital Library. The FNIC also provides access to a collection of culturally significant web resources.
