BC Libraries Cooperative

Open lays at the heart of the Cooperative’s operations, strategies and philosophy. We co-hosted BC’s first data camp for libraries! We use open source software, like the Evergreen ILS. We license our Sitka documentation Creative Commons. We work with members and partners to promote access to resources in libraries, by leveraging open tools. We participate in several open communities, like LODLAM. We co-hosted an Open Data Learning Summit in September, 2012 that focused on exploring opportunities for open data learning and leadership in libraries. We are preparing an open data catalogue for Sitka – stay tuned. Here are some data visualization and open data tools & resources.
