Within the Timebank Knowledge Commons, toolkit articles, resource links, and library documents are organized and cross-linked using tb-tags and keywords, which are freely grouped into the topic areas below. This method allows for flexible and adaptable cataloging, and helps you quickly find items of interest by clicking tags and keywords on the search page or in the topic catalog below.
On the search page, you may continue adding tags / keywords to your search, and +include or –exclude any number of tags and words (not only clickable tags). You can also type in the names of people, places, organizations, web links, file names, checksums, isbn numbers, or anything else to be found in the TB-KC Database.

How and Why to Link to the TB-KC Library - for authors and editors
If you're writing an article or blog somewhere, and linking to a resource / document which is listed / mirrored in the Timebank Knowledge Commons, there are some benefits you can give your readers with a secondary "(tb-kc)" link after your primary link. (if the resource or document is not already in the TB-KC, you can add it here)
Your reader can click the secondary link to search the TB-KC Library for alternate links or websites, in case the primary link is ever broken (if the item is renamed or moved or deleted, website down etc). Also you can direct your reader with a search for related items in the TB-KC, current or future.
Here are 3 different examples of using a secondary link (tb-kc),
The Co-Production Principle and Time Dollars, by David Boyle (tb-kc)
The Co-Production Principle and Time Dollars, by David Boyle (tb-kc)
The Co-Production Principle and Time Dollars, by David Boyle (tb-kc)
The primary link is the same in all examples, and goes directly to the document in a new window,
http://timebanks.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Co-ProductionPrinciple.pdf
In the first example, (tb-kc) searches for TB-KC doc filename "author-year-title",
http://metasofa.org/tb-kc/boyle-2003-co-production-principle
In the second example, (tb-kc) searches for relevant names, words, or tags - in this case variations of "co-production" and the author's last name,
http://metasofa.org/tb-kc/find?q=co-production+or+coproduction+and+boyle
In the third example, (tb-kc) simply goes to the Timebank Knowledge Commons,
http://metasofa.org/tb-kc
