In a knowledge intensive sector like ours, IssueLab fills a unique role. We not only run one of the largest open repositories for social sector knowledge, we also offer services to help organizations better manage, synthesize, and share what they are learning. Our current service offerings include:
ISSUELAB’s DISTRIBUTION NETWORK
Share your knowledge through IssueLab and it automatically becomes part of the collective intelligence of the social sector.
OPEN KNOWLEDGE GUIDANCE
We help organizations adopt practices that make sharing knowledge the “default” rather than something we reserve for only select works.
KNOWLEDGE CENTER SERVICE
The Service enables anyone to easily create a digital repository by repurposing IssueLab’s platform, technology and — if desired — content.
SPECIAL COLLECTIONS
Our special collections are topical deep-dives that supply an intriguing interdisciplinary peek at an issue, a current event, a strategy.
APPLICATION PROGRAMMING INTERFACE (API)
Our API makes it easy for anyone to access metadata and graphic content and use it in their own websites and applications at no cost.
OPEN ARCHIVES INITIATIVE DATA PROVIDER
Our interoperable data provider uses tried and true technology to share data across systems. It’s an integral part of our distribution network.
DIGITAL OBJECT IDENTIFIERS (DOIs)
DOIs are IssueLab’s way of making social sector knowledge perpetually discoverable. Anyone with qualifying content can get a free social sector DOI.
