CIC is compiling a comprehensive list of publications on Community Indicators written and/or published by CIC members: articles: reports, books, videos and other multimedia. We are building a database of PDFs for all articles and reports. For books, we will post citations along with a link to an online book seller, and for videos and multimedia work, we will select an appropriate format, such as youtube, for each file.
