Makerspace
A place where people learn to use tools and materials and can develop creative projects
Can be embedded inside an existing organization or standalone on its own
Adaptable—can be shaped by educational goals as well as students’ creative interests

collaborative learning environments where people come together to share materials and learn new skills
not necessarily born out of a specific set of materials or spaces, but rather a mindset of community partnership, collaboration, and creation
people can create content as well as consume it in this incubator for ideas and ventures

The Unquiet Library: A
Makerspace Culture of Learning
Buffy Hamilton, July 2012
“While we sit here and debate when we deliver our lectures, or how long they are, or in what channels;
the real flip is already occurring. The lecture? The long form or short form, oratory? That is not the point of this. They all have a place. No, the real flip is faculty
are losing control. The real flip is from us – LIS faculty – thinking we have the content and we are just debating
the delivery to the truth that we need to relearn the content continuously right along side
our students.”
Dr. R. David Lankes, “Duct Tape, 3D Printing, and Libraries of the Future” http://quartz.syr.edu/blog/?p=1400&cpage=1#comment-7944
“That last bit, the relearning bit, that is crucial. This is not simply ceding control, or turning education into one long
do it yourself project. There is value in a good teacher and a good researcher – they will always have a strong
ability to guide. No, it is about realizing that truly co-owning a curriculum, or library
program, requires constant reinvention if for nothing else than applying it to new
contexts.”
