Welcome to IOU Digital Library

This book presents tried and tested design methodologies, based on the author's decades of research, to ensure successful and sustainable online communities—whether a wiki for employees to share procedures and best practices or for the next Facebook. The book describes four criteria, called "RIBS," which are necessary to the design of a successful and sustainable online community. These concepts provide designers with the tools they need to generate informed creative and productive design ideas, to think proactively about the communities they are building or maintaining, and to design communities that encourage users to actively contribute.
