The DeLaMare Library at the University of Nevada, Reno, was one of the first academic libraries in the United States to implement makerspace – a library where novel services such as 3D printing and scanning quickly became routine. Equipped with non-traditional library technology ranging from laser cutters to micro-programmables and virtual reality hardware, and staffed with personnel skilled at catalyzing active learning and engagement, the library has witnessed an explosion of creativity: discovery, innovation, and collaboration have become everyday occurrences. Named one of the most interesting makerspaces in America, highlights of the transformation are shared by the library’s director: Colegrove explores emergent roles of makerspaces in university libraries, effecting learning, teaching, and serving the general community in a revitalized role that goes beyond catalyzing learning and discovery to innovation and entrepreneurship.
