Dear Michael, I am glad you mention this! I wrote an article about that idea
and had some Brainstormings on that topic. Maybe you have a read into this:

Lets put the two together: an IC and Coworking space.
What is an IC?
Wait, let me start from the beginning. I’m getting ahead of myself.
Ever been helped by a librarian in your life, in a public library or
through your academic career in college or high school? Maybe you are in a
Thanks for the suggestion and support, Caner.

Hey Michael,
Neat perspective! The idea of having someone available who is more than
simply a desk receptionist is one that I strongly believe is a good
direction to head towards.
In particular, I think this person could be not just someone who could help
find information, but who is
I'm super into this too - similar to what Tony suggested about having the
IC trained in connecting people to *people* rather than simply information.
Talented coworker staffers already serve this role, sometimes in less
formal ways and other times with more formal practices
Tony and Alex these are both great ideas, I'll try several approaches and
see what works. Thanks :)

processes, information management for many years and I came to a
realization that especially creative people are very poorly organized, very
bad at document and information management. Our brains are not good at
so am I Alex, I know several librarians in my area in DC who are out of
work..this new, (to me anyway) idea, is a new audience they can appeal to

Hey Mike,
If I were in your shoes, I'd be connecting directly to *members* of
coworking spaces more than trying to convince operators of the value. If
you can get the MEMBERS to ask for it, and there's minimal overhead for the
space operator, you go from having a vague, conceptual offer (which is
Hey Mike,
Have you visited existing DC-area spaces to see if you can pilot a super
super simple lightweight version of the idea with them?
So much of this movement has been built on small steps using the resources
within your reach!

Thanks Tony, that is exactly what I'm trying to do in DC.. reach out to a
coworking realty group and make them see the benefits of this new model,
but so far, no one is taking me up on it. I think the realty groups are
