Making in McIntyre

[Photo credit: www.nicolassolop.com]
McIntyre Library is embracing the maker movement, and we are interested in identifying faculty who are interested in or curious about this idea. 

A makerspace is a collection of equipment (anything from 3d printers and laser cutters to sewing machines and digital recording equipment), resources and services that give students hands-on opportunities to experiment, create and collaborate. In addition to creating a space in McIntyre Library available to all students, we plan to serve as a clearinghouse, providing students with information about other facilities available to them across campus. 

We want to hear your thoughts about what a library makerspace should offer and how it can be incorporated into the curriculum. If you are interested in joining the makerspace conversation, please register. A meeting will be scheduled during the semester.
