OCUL Communities

OCUL Communities provide forums for discussion on library and information practices and services.

OCUL Communities are member-initiated and member-driven virtual groups. Community members can network, share and learn with each other 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.

Community Membership

A Community’s membership is at the discretion of OCUL member libraries. A Community may include more than one person from a member library. 

To join an OCUL Community, please contact its moderator. Moderator contact details are available on each Community webpage.

Starting a Community

A potential Community must submit a proposal to ocul@ocul.on.ca. Proposals are reviewed by the OCUL Executive Committee and then presented to the Council for approval 

Guidelines outline proposal requirements and additional information about starting an OCUL Community.
