CCC maintains two LibGuides related to their controlled vocabularies.

The CCC Data Dictionary is for staff at CCC member institutions and contains a list of the Topics, Neighborhoods and Cities controlled vocabularies, information on how to give feedback on the controlled vocabularies and suggestions on how to apply tags. This LibGuide is also linked out from the Metadata Hopper interface in the "Help" section on the right sidebar.

The Public Guide to CCC Controlled Vocabularies is targeted towards the general public and can be shared widely. This LibGuide contains a list of the Topics, Neighborhoods and Cities controlled vocabularies, information on how to give feedback on the controlled vocabularies and a FAQ section with information on what controlled vocabularies are and how ours were developed.
