OCUL Communities provide forums for member library workers to discuss library and information practices and services.
OCUL Communities are member-initiated and member-driven virtual groups. Communities network, share and learn about library-related topics of interest while seeking opportunities to improve individual and shared infrastructure for existing and emerging initiatives.
Each Community is defined by a topic and led by a moderator or co-moderators.
