The rise of makerspaces within public and academic libraries has led to a wide variety of books, articles, and presentations that discuss how to set up your space, what equipment to buy, and, to a lesser degree, how to get the support of your administration or the community to include a new space within your library. One of the first makerspace books published focusing on adult makers rather than on K-12, Makerspaces for Adults: Best Practices and Great Projects highlights how to integrate your makerspace within university and public libraries and the wider community. Discover how you can connect your makerspace with service learning to support a variety of groups, take your makerspace tools to various points of need through community partnerships, and build relationships with faculty, students, and patrons through makerspace projects. You will learn about collaboration, innovation, course integration, experiential education, community engagement, working with adults with disabilities, accessible makerspaces, design thinking, 3D printing, vinyl and laser cutters, 3D design, VR projects, and so much more. Intended for librarians, faculty, and staff who would like to implement more making into their classes and build productive collaborations, this book includes sections that cover academic libraries, connecting to the curriculum, public libraries and community outreach, and concludes with a variety of tried and tested projects. Chapters cover a range of issues from building an accessible makerspace to developing programming for fashion, archaeology, or literature courses. Each project features background information, equipment lists, step-by-step instructions, as well as tips and lessons learned, providing readers with a guide to develop their own projects.

Makerspaces, sometimes also referred to as hackerspaces, hackspaces, and fablabs are creative, DIY spaces where people can gather to create, invent, and learn. In libraries they often have 3D printers, software, electronics, craft and hardware supplies and tools, and more. Makerspaces are becoming increasingly popular in both public and academic libraries as a new way to engage patrons and add value to traditional library services. Discover how you can create a makerspace within your own library though this step-by-step guidebook. From planning your innovation center to hosting hack-a-thons, guest lectures, and social events in your new lab, Makerspaces in Libraries provides detailed guidance and best practices for creating an enduring, community driven space for all to enjoy and from which both staff and patrons will benefit. This well researched, in-depth guide will serve libraries of all sizes seeking to implement the latest technologies and bring fresh life and engaging programming to their libraries. Highlights and best practices include: budgeting and business planning for a librarymakerspace,creating operational documents,tools and resources overviews,national and international case studies,becoming familiar with 3D printers through practical printing projects (seed bombs),how to get started with Arduino (illuminate your library with a LED ambient mood light),how to host a FIRST Robotics Team at the library,how to develop hands-on engagement for senior makers (Squishy Circuits), andhow to host a Hackathon and build a coding community.

Spaces that have been designed to allow users to create, build, and learn new projects and technologies, makerspaces employ a variety of tools such as 3-D printers, AutoCAD design software, and even open-source hardware like Arduino Kits. Developing a community around shared use of space and equipment, a tenet of the makerspace movement, fits squarely into libraries’ mission. Bagley examines nine makerspaces in public, academic, and school libraries, describing their design and technical decisions in depth and showing how each is doing something unique and different, under a wide range of budgets and project offerings. Enabling readers to quickly gather information about these trailblazing projects, Bagley’s guide Defines the makerspace, and describes why it fits perfectly into the library’s role as community center Answers common questions about implementing a makerspace project, detailing how libraries are addressing issues such as registration, usage policy, noise, software programs in digital workspaces, adapting spaces, funding, and promotion Illustrates approaches libraries are taking to staffing makerspaces, from Anchorage Public Library’s Maker in Residence and Mesa Public Library's THINKspot coordinator, to the library school students involved with University of Michigan and University of Illinois makerspace projects Covers the demographics of makerspace users, from children and teens to hobbyists and job seekers, offering guidance for targeting, marketing, and programming A sourcebook of ideas that readers can apply at their own institutions, this resource also demonstrates how makerspaces can be gathering places for people to learn how to create and build together as a community.

This is an ideal resource for joining the maker movement, no matter the size of your public library or resource level. Libraries of all sizes and resource levels are finding ways to support community innovation and creativity through maker programming—and successful programs don't require dedicating an entire area of the library to makerspace activities or sophisticated technologies such as 3D printers. Make It Here: Inciting Creativity and Innovation in Your Library provides a complete, step-by-step guide for starting a makerspace program at your library and follows through with instructions for operation and building on your success. This book takes you step-by-step through starting your maker program—from finding the right "makerspace mix," making a plan, and working with staff to establishing funding and support, launching your makerspace, and evaluating and refining your programs. The authors provide guidance based on their personal experiences in creating and developing maker programs in their libraries as well as feedback and lessons learned from library makers across the country. You'll see how easy it can be to bring their ideas to life in ways that will empower your community, and be encouraged to be bold and think outside of the box when imagining the possibilities.

The purpose of my research was to investigate the intersections of adult learning, art education, and gender in creative community spaces. What are adults seeking when they participate in community art spaces, and how do those spaces meet their needs? How does gender impact participation in creative spaces? Are the cultures of certain community art spaces more inclusive based on gender? How is this demonstrated? My questions are informed by my personal experience teaching community ceramics classes to a consistent majority of female students. This lead me to speculate that gender plays a role in how adults engage with creative work that is independent of other demographic attributes. In order to observe creative communities with more male participants, I researched makerspaces. "Makerspace" encompasses a broad range of definitions; my research focused on public and membership based organizations where people engage in "making" activities, including digital fabrication and technology, and traditional skills like fiber crafts and woodworking. I considered the similarities and differences between the makerspaces and the ceramics studio where I teach. I used ethnographic and autoethnographic methods. Over a period of six months, I attended events at five makerspaces with different locations, structures, and communities; I interviewed facilitators and participants, and documented my observations. I also taught two eight-week sessions of an adult ceramics class in a community studio and my students responded to a written survey about their experience. My own participation in these spaces became an important source of data. As a person with no previous experience in makerspaces, it was surprising to encounter my own discomfort and insecurity. My gender was not always a key element of this, but I felt keenly aware of it at times. As creative communities, makerspaces' non-traditional basis allows them to be inclusive of diverse participants, but gender still affects social and creative engagement independently of other attributes. Existing research in the field of art education has often failed to specifically address how gender affects arts participation. My research highlights why art participation is important for adults, and provides insight into how participation intersects with gender. Hopefully, this will help art educators think critically about gender imbalances that exist within creative community spaces, and support educational practices that increase art access for adults.
