Britton, Lauren affil: MLIS Syracuse University. She is a graduate of the School of Information Studies at Syracuse University (2012). She is committed to providing community members with tools, opportunities and experiences that will enable them to be self‐motivated, lifelong learners. Stephanie is interested in creating dynamic, hands‐on learning opportunities in libraries, especially around making, STEM topics and digital creation. With experience in youth services, technology and instruction, she delights in helping people of all ages discover what the 21st century public library can do. sug: subj: Printing, Three-Dimensional Lifelong Learning Technology Libraries Handicrafts Machinery ab: EDITOR'S SUMMARY Makerspaces are environments where crafters and techies can come together to create, share and learn. Many libraries support the maker movement by providing access to a variety of technologies from sewing machines and looms to recording equipment and production tools, an expansion of services that is in line with promoting literacy, community and lifelong learning. About one third of makerspaces charged a fee or required membership in 2013, though some, including libraries and museums, are supported by major funding agencies. Digital fabrication technology or 3D printers are increasingly available through library-based makerspaces and extend opportunities for STEM education, but libraries face challenges from high initial and ongoing costs, user training and even encouraging users in 3D thinking and design. 3D printers can be a powerful stimulus for creativity, learning and sharing, even promoting jobs and community development. pubtype: Periodical doctype: Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
