    The German-North American Resources Partnership (GNARP) is one of the working projects of the Global Resources Network. Originally known as the German Demonstration Project, it was renamed German Resources Project in 1998 to reflect its establishment as a long-term project focusing on improving the effective acquisition, sharing, and use of German-language materials among North American libraries and also the fostering of closer collaboration with German research libraries. In 2002 it adopted its current name to emphasize the goal of transatlantic collaboration. Currently there are 46 member libraries in North America and 5 in Germany.
