From ColLib

Welcome

... to colLib, the collaborative platform for organizing Open Access materials in Library & Information Science (LIS).

colLib harvests metadata-records from OAI-PMH-compliant repositories and enables manual 'tagging' of these records to cluster them by subject or other meaningful categories. Tags are represented by pages in a wiki, that can be annotated with links to related tags, external links and any other text deemed relevant.

Find documents

  • Categories organize different types of tags, including Subjects, which are the most general.
  • Popular pages lists the pages that have been viewed most often
  • Newest records lists the 20 most recently harvested metadata records. RSS 1.0: xml.gif
  • Most watched records lists the records that have been added to the most watch-lists
  • Search records searches the metadata of the records, as opposed to the search-box in the left margin, which searches the pages of the wiki.
  • Repositories gives an overview of which repositories are harvested by colLib, and how many records each repository has contributed.

Contribute

colLib is based on a Wiki - that means anyone can contribute!

  • Untagged records lists records that have not yet been given any tags. Please feel free to add tags to the records listed here! (Note: This page is really slow. I am working on improving its speed. --MagnusEnger 15:46, 9 Sep 2005 (CEST) )
If you would like your own articles to appear on colLib you must post it to one of the harvested repositories. The record for your article should appear here in a day or two.
