Academic Libraries as Makerspace: 3D Printing and Knowledge CreationKathlin Ray
As part of an ongoing plan to transform an underutilized science and engineering library into a lively incubator for student-faculty collaboration and innovation, staff at the University of Nevada, Reno decided to launch a bold initiative: build a 3D scanning and printing “makerspace” and make it available to the entire campus. The service has been wildly successful with 3D printers running 24 hours a day. Furthermore, positioning the library as a place that facilitates knowledge creation beyond text based tools and resources has been a game changer. Students are highly motivated to learn new skills in order to take advantage of new technologies (Lynda.com gets heavy use); they experiment and iterate quickly to perfect their designs. Even better, students from engineering are now rubbing elbows with people from fields such as biology, computer science, geology, and even art. Like the printing press and the personal computer, 3-D printers have been hailed as a revolutionary device that will ultimately transform the way the world operates.

Open Access at the Coal Face - Attitudes and Practical Responses (DARTS4)Yvonne Budden
Open Access is, arguably, one of the most disruptive changes to the scholarly communications environment since the invention of the internet. Staff in academic and research libraries have been facilitating this change and educating researchers about it since the first institutional repository was launched in 2000. But the pace of change has accelerated exponentially with the strengthening of the RCUK and Wellcome Trust mandates and the introduction of the HEFCE mandate among other funder moves in this area.
This talk will focus on the practical responses taken by the University of Warwick to cope with this change in all areas across the institution and the demands that this has placed on Library staff. It will focus on the Library perspective but also cover work done by the Research Office as well as the Graduate School and Student, Careers and Skills as part of a cross-institutional response. It will examine the practical challenges that we have faced in dealing with the new policies and some of the developments we have made to our institutional repository, WRAP (http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk) to support researchers wanting the advantages of open access. Additionally it will cover new areas of activity that have been undertaken by Library staff and offer a few of our ‘lessons learnt’ as well as a few future plans.
Finally the talk will discuss some of the early results from an institution wide survey of our researchers on their understanding of open access and attitudes to the process. This survey is an expansion of a survey that we ran in 2011 and the results will show whether or not the rapid changes and stronger funder mandates are really helping to win the hearts and minds of our researchers.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Setting Up a Makerspace: Why & How
1. Setting Up a Makerspace
: Why & How
Bohyun Kim, Associate Director
for Library Applications and Knowledge Systems
Health Sciences and Human Services Library
University of Maryland, Baltimore
Association for Academic Health Sciences Libraries Meeting
- Education Program, Baltimore, MD. Nov. 6, 2015.
2. HS/HSL Innovation Space Opened
in April 2015.
It took almost a year
of investigation and planning.
6. Why Did We Want a Makerspace
for a Health Sciences Library?
• The significant impact of the Maker Movement and 3D printing
technology on health sciences research and practice.
• The Maker Movement and 3D printing technology catalyze
innovation and promote entrepreneurship by emphasizing
‘making’ over ‘consuming’ and facilitate experiential learning
and rapid prototyping.
• Library makerspaces are often the only facility with the 3D
printing/scanning capability that offers open access to all.
• Applications in many disciplines in health sciences.
http://guides.hshsl.umaryland.edu/c.php?g=163717&p=10753
36
7. Common Questions - Logistics
• Because launching a makerspace is still new to
librarians.
• Where to start?
– What to purchase
– How to set up the space
– How to train staff
• How to operate & support user needs?
– Policies
– Workflow
– Services, workshops, and promotion
8. Common Obstacle - Striking a Balance
• How to support and advance a new form of
learning in health sciences vs. How to ensure
that the library’s investment is relevant and
justifiable to the campus community with the
reality of a tight operating budget and many
competing priorities.
• What’s cool vs. What makes sense
9. Planning & Implementation
• Apr. 2014: Task Force convened
• July 31, 2015: White paper released & presented.
• Nov. 2014: Equipment purchased
• Nov. 2014: Getting used to 3D printing and 3D modeling
• Dec. 2014-Jan. 2015 : Staff training
• Feb.-Mar. 2015: Implementation details including Location, Space
preparation, Policy, Web development, Signage, LibGuide, LibCal,
Orientation design and orienter training, Pricing scheme, Payment
and Pickup workflos, Promotion, Naming contest, and more.
• Apr. 21, 2015: The Innovation Space Launch
• Nov. 6, 2015: The Innovation Space Expansion Completed
10.
11. Task Force White Paper
• Download at
http://archive.hshsl.umaryland.edu/handle/10713/4634
• Covers a broad ground:
– What exactly a makerspace is.
– Whether it is relevant to UMB and HS/HSL.
– What it would take to create one at HS/HSL.
– What kind of service it will provide.
– How it can be managed by the existing staff.
– How it can be promoted to the campus.
– Details such as equipment, location, policy, service model, and staffing
– Cost and the funding model
– Environmental Scan & Recommendation
12. Use Cases So Far
• The first experience of a makerspace & 3d printer in action to users.
Over 30 individual orientations and reservations made. Lots of
questions from passers-by and visitors.
– Included in a course in the Dept. of Physical Therapy & the Informatics
fellowship program.
– Two workshops offered every week.
• Custom parts for lab equipment
• 3D printed denture model
• CAT Scan images as stackable 3d models as a teaching tool
• Anatomical model for research
• Buttons for a conference
13.
14. Lessons Learned
• HS/HSL perceived to be highly innovative on
campus.
• Technologies are still new to many.
• A relatively small user base that needs to be
expanded.
• New technology and equipment still require users
to develop their ideas and spend time on working
out those ideas. Success depends on users as well
as libraries.
