Terrific Makerspace Projects: A Practical Guide for Librarians: Practical Guides for Librarians

Autor Juan Denzer, Sharona Ginsberg
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 12 aug 2020

Deși literatura dedicată mișcării maker în biblioteci a crescut considerabil, majoritatea resurselor se concentrează exclusiv pe activități destinate utilizatorilor finali, lăsând un gol informațional în ceea ce privește utilizarea makerspace-ului ca instrument de marketing instituțional. Terrific Makerspace Projects vine să completeze această lacună, propunând o perspectivă inversată: proiecte concepute de bibliotecari pentru a demonstra valoarea serviciilor de bibliotecă și pentru a crea conexiuni comunitare prin tehnologie.

Subliniem faptul că acest volum extinde cadrul propus de 63 Ready-to-Use Maker Projects de Ellyssa Kroski prin adăugarea unei dimensiuni strategice de outreach. În timp ce volumul lui Kroski oferă o varietate largă de activități generale, Juan Denzer și Sharona Ginsberg prioritizează proiecte care servesc drept „ambasadori” tehnologici ai instituției. Această abordare este o continuare firească a operei anterioare a lui Denzer, Digital Collections and Exhibits, unde acesta explora intersecția dintre hardware-ul accesibil și experiența interactivă a vizitatorului.

Structura cărții este riguros organizată pe capitole dedicate unor proiecte specifice, de la stații de selfie (Photo Booth) la vânătoare de comori cu realitate augmentată (AR Scavenger Hunt) și obiecte hibride precum „Magic Radio” sau „Locked Book”. Această progresie de la simplu la complex permite bibliotecarilor să își calibreze eforturile în funcție de buget și competențe tehnice. Ne-a atras atenția în mod deosebit secțiunea de „Bonus Projects”, care include Tabulatron Stats Tracker, un exemplu excelent de cum uneltele maker pot fi folosite pentru eficientizarea managementului intern al bibliotecii. Formatul de tip ghid practic, susținut de cele 38 de ilustrații, transformă conceptele teoretice în fluxuri de lucru aplicabile imediat.

Denzer and Ginsberg share tips for creating 3D-printed swag pens, escape room scavenger hunts, digital photo booths, and developing your maker mindset. You'll gain the confidence and skills to delight library visitors.
New scalable project ideas, clearly described with room allowed for creativity. Developing just one or two of the suggestions in this book will turn the heads of both your patrons and administrations.

Sometimes the most difficult thing about running a Makerspace is figuring out how to build your personal skills and promote the space. This book has a number of ideas to help you do both! The projects are achievable, but also give excuses to learn practical skills from Arduino to using actual tools.

Descriere scurtă

Terrific Makerspace Projects: A Practical Guide for Librarians features fifteen customizable projects that were designed as projects created by librarians/makerspace facilitators, rather than projects in which librarians guided others (makerspace users). These projects were showcased during library events with the goal of promoting the makerspace, as well as other library services, while using them to build connections both within and external to the library. This book outlines maker projects in detail and provides plenty of photos and resources so readers can recreate, customize, and implement them. People at all skill levels in every type of makerspace will find something they can try, with projects that range from simple and low-tech to more complex and tech-heavy. Most projects are inexpensive, taking advantage of free online tools, upcycled or repurposed materials, and low cost electronics such as Arduinos. Each project can be approached as an offering for makerspace visitors or can be created by library employees themselves as tools to engage in outreach and promote the makerspace, library services, the institution, and more. Every project has been created and tested in a real library setting by the authors, who present lessons learned, possible variations, and different ideas on how to implement the projects to their fullest extent. Explore the idea of using the makerspace to highlight the value of other library services, or simply find new and fun ways to engage with your users. The book also offers suggestions on how to be a great maker, and tips on makerspace safety, finding low-cost materials, and more. Whether you're just beginning your makerspace or looking for fresh ideas for your established space, this book has something to offer.
