Space is shifting from infrastructure to engagement.Lorcan Dempsey of OCLC noted how “space is being reconfigured around broader education and research needs, and less around the management of print collection.

Geek the library.Passion!
What’s different? We’re expanding the types of making that go on within the physical library – leveraging the ability to engage/broaden meet our customers’ needs.

It may be that the best way to show you what makerspace can be in an academic library is to show you some examples from our experience
Arduino is a tool for making computers that can sense and control more of the physical world than your desktop computer.It's an open-source physical computing platform based on a simple microcontroller board, and a development environment for writing software for the board.
Also handy. “Hydration is key when hacking.” ;-)
To be effective, as librarians we need to break through the “third wall”.
Cross-disciplinary!
By show of hands, who’s here from the public library side of librarianship? Academic? Wow – brave.Seems to imply that the natural mechanisms of the library aren’t sufficing anymore
