IC concept: Beagle’s 1999 paper

Beagle, Donald. “Conceptualizing an information commons,” Journal of Academic Librarianship 25, 2 (March 1999): p.82-89.

圖書館的組織架構建立於印刷資料為本的環境，並不能駕馭在電子化趨勢中讀者獲取和處理資料的需求，我們必要重新思考圖書館的組織架構、釐定組織範圍，從而產生了IC這種服務模式；文章描述了IC應有的設施、服務方式和跟大學發展的配合。

Library organizational design was aligned with a print tradition.  The paper explores how libraries manage service delivery in the new digital environment.  What is needed is a rethinking and reformulation of organizational structure, including an expansion of organizational scope.  This reformulation has led to the model known as the Information Commons.  The paper describes an IC in terms of physical space, patterns of service and strategic alignments.
