Reference for homotopy colimit = total complex

I'm looking for a reference for the following fact: take a simplicial chain complex $ X:\Delta^{op}\to Ch_{\geq 0}(\mathcal A)$ for $\mathcal A$ a nice abelian category (say, cocomplete with enough ...

I've never really thought much about distributivity of limits and colimits -- I tend to think more about commutativity of limits and colimits. This question makes me want to change that. The question ...

Commuting homotopy colimits and arbitrary products in spaces

Let $X : D \rightarrow Spc$ be a diagram with values in the $\infty$-category of spaces and $I$ some (discrete) set, not necessarily finite. ($D$ can be a 1-category if that makes statements easier, ...
