An early implementation – Colorado State U

Cowgill, Allison, Joan Beam and Lindsey Wess, “Implementing an information commons in a university library,” Journal of Academic Librarianship 27, 6(Nov 2001): 432-439.

這個比較早期的報告，講述 CSU圖書館的計劃，在已有的電腦室，加裝微軟Office，讓它成為一個IC；過程的重點是怎樣解決員工面對改變可能產生的抗拒，和怎樣幫助他們過渡到新的服務模式和讀者需求，當中包括鼓勵員工在計劃中的參與、衡量新工作所需的知識和技術、員工培訓等。

CSU transformed it’s Electronic Information Center into an IC by adding productivity software.  A major feature in their implementation is staff involvement and training: staff participated in planning discussion, identified minimal technical competencies, organized training classes.

Currently the facility at their Morgan Library is not labeled as an IC.
