About the Library
About the Project
This project’s goal is to provide an interdisciplinary open online database in which all current and former research about coworking can be found. We provide links to the papers/books, but do not provide any files due to copyright restrictions. In many cases you can contact the author of the work yourself.
There is an English abstract of all entries regardless of the language the publication uses. It is free to access the library as this project was made possible with the help of many partners.
