About the Webinar
The movement to help support the “maker” culture among libraries has grown and and is creating vibrant communities centered around the library in many communities. Beyond purchasing equipment and the tools necessary to produce objects, what does the library need to do to support these innovation spaces? How do traditional library services and information management support these communities and new tools? This session will explore how some of the most successful makerspaces have been created and how traditional library services are being incorporated into those spaces. During this session, speakers from three different institutions that have implemented makerspaces, who will discuss how they have integrated traditional services into their maker initiatives.
