| Abstract | "A makerspace is an area in a library where users can use tools and equipment to design, build, and create all sorts of different things. It may be a dedicated room or a multipurpose space in which a collection of raw materials and resources can be utilized as desired. Projects range from prototyping product designs with 3D printers to programming robots, to creating art out of recycling items. This practical guide will help librarians: develop, budget for, and implement makerspaces, write grant proposals for funding, understand the mindset behind the maker movement in order in order to meet patron needs. 'Makerspaces: A Practical Guide for Librarians' also includes useful case studies, descriptions of equipment and new technologies, and models for planning and assessing projects."-- from the publisher. |
