What is the Information Commons?

The Information Commons Wiki (IC Wiki) is developed and maintained by the Information Commons Interest Group (ICIG) of the Canadian Library Association in order to foster a better understanding of the issues that affect the Information Commons.

All are invited to share ideas, experiences and all relevant documentation for the Information Commons. Please feel free to add content to a page and create new ones. Note that changes on this current page have been bloked because of spam problems. Sorry for the inconvenience. Use the discussion page to propose changes.
