Copian Information

For almost a quarter of a century we've been an innovative leader in connecting Canadian literacy and learning organizations, in both official languages, to information, tools, expertise and each other through the use of technology. Originally known as the National Adult Literacy Database (NALD), Copian had its beginnings in 1989, in the early days of the Internet, when it was conceived to make use of the new technology to connect literacy organizations across Canada. In the spirit of a charitable, non-profit organization, Copian focuses its efforts on providing information and knowledge-sharing services free of charge to the literacy and workplace essential skills community. With resources in both English and French, our library is the largest, most comprehensive and most current collection of digital tools and documents in the country. To support our charitable objectives, we engage in project and other business opportunities in the broader learning community to generate revenue that is subsequently reinvested in our core services. Copian is much more than a database of resources and an electronic network. We are an experienced team of professionals that will respond to your needs, whether it is consultation, project leadership or management, or simply the right resources and tools to help you achieve your goals as an organization or practitioner in the learning and workplace essential skills realm.
