About CNI
The Coalition for Networked Information (CNI) is dedicated to the transformative promise of digital information technology to advance scholarly communication and enrich intellectual productivity. CNI was founded as a venue for collaboration on networked information technologies and resources, particularly among librarians and information technologists with a focus on the higher education and research enterprise.
As the premier organization fostering collaboration between library and information technology communities, CNI represents the interests of over
200 member institutions
from higher education, publishing, information technology, scholarly and professional organizations, foundations, libraries, library organizations, and other sectors. Semi-annual
membership meetings
bring together CNI member representatives to discuss projects and plan for future initiatives. CNI is entirely funded through membership dues.
CNI is based in Washington, D.C., and welcomed
Kate Zwaard
as executive director in September 2025.
