Tags for TB-KC Contributors & Librarians

todo-info - info needed
todo-link - links or uploads needed
todo-edit - items to edit (librarians only)


If you're writing an article or blog somewhere, and linking to a resource / document which is listed / mirrored in the Timebank Knowledge Commons, there are some benefits you can give your readers with a secondary "(tb-kc)" link after your primary link.   (if the resource or document is not already in the TB-KC, you can add it here)

Your reader can click the secondary link to search the TB-KC Library for alternate links or websites, in case the primary link is ever broken (if the item is renamed or moved or deleted, website down etc).  Also you can direct your reader with a search for related items in the TB-KC, current or future.

Here are 3 different examples of using a secondary link (tb-kc),

    The Co-Production Principle and Time Dollars, by David Boyle  (tb-kc)
    The Co-Production Principle and Time Dollars, by David Boyle  (tb-kc)
    The Co-Production Principle and Time Dollars, by David Boyle  (tb-kc)

The primary link is the same in all examples, and goes directly to the document in a new window,

    http://timebanks.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Co-ProductionPrinciple.pdf

In the first example, (tb-kc) searches for TB-KC doc filename "author-year-title",

    http://metasofa.org/tb-kc/boyle-2003-co-production-principle

In the second example, (tb-kc) searches for relevant names, words, or tags - in this case variations of "co-production" and the author's last name,

    http://metasofa.org/tb-kc/find?q=co-production+or+coproduction+and+boyle

In the third example, (tb-kc) simply goes to the Timebank Knowledge Commons,

    http://metasofa.org/tb-kc/

Also see TB-KC Timebank Toolkit articles for more examples...

The Timebank Knowledge Commons is always under construction as we continue collecting links for the TB-KC Resource Directory and cataloging documents for the TB-KC Document Library...
