How can the libraries of the present and future be influenced by those of the past? In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, university professor and self-described "corrupted librarian" Tod Colegrove talks about the radical parallels between libraries of the ancient past and the entrepreneurial and innovative libraries of today: active centers of learning and knowledge creation. The recorded TEDx talk (15 minutes and 50 seconds) is available at http://youtu.be/RvE0gHhK3ss - please view and share widely!

Keynote address at the Information Technology in Education itie 2016 conference held in Wuhan, China:
On the surface, makerspace and academic libraries might seem an incongruous match. The ever-changing, and seemingly chaotic environment of makerspace contrasts starkly with the stereotype of the quiet and reserved academic library. Sharing lessons learned while transforming an underutilized branch library into a vibrant hub of collaborative and problem-based learning, Colegrove explores emergent roles of makerspaces in university libraries, effecting learning, teaching, and serving the general community. Rather than an artifact of a bygone era, specific examples drawn from the DeLaMare Library at the University of Nevada, Reno, demonstrate that libraries today can offer a powerful platform of transformation that crosses disciplinary and organizational boundaries. Equipped with non-traditional technology such as 3D printers and laser cutters, and staffed with personnel skilled at catalyzing active learning and engagement, discovery, innovation, and collaboration become everyday occurrences across the physical commons of the library. A depth of learning occurs in parallel with classroom instruction as the adjunct spaces and resources of the library become intertwined with the classroom, amplifying the efforts of both. Discover how learning and discovery lead naturally to outreach, innovation, and entrepreneurship in this motivational exploration of practice in a 21st-century university library.The Art of the Possible: Makerspaces and Academic Libraries 可能性的艺术:创客空间和高校图书馆

On the surface, makerspace and academic libraries might seem an unlikely match.

Equipped with non-traditional technology such as 3D printers and laser cutters, and staffed with personnel skilled at catalyzing active learning and engagement, discovery, innovation, and collaboration become everyday occurrences across the physical commons of the library. Rapid prototyping services and equipment enable innovation and entrepreneurship, even as a depth of learning occurs in parallel with classroom instruction. The adjunct spaces and resources of the library become intertwined with both the classroom and industry beyond the university’s walls, augmenting and amplifying the efforts of both; an explosion of learning and discovery powers innovation and entrepreneurship as the best of the academic and industrial worlds collide on the neutral common ground of the university library.Makerspace and the Library: Active Learning, Innovation, and Design 主动学习、创新...

Over the past decades much has shifted across the landscape of higher education. In the library, print resources are transitioning transitioned to electronic formats and availability, leaving classroom instructors questioning the ongoing relevance of the physical library to the academic mission. This paper explores new and emerging roles of the library in support of the next generation classroom, tracing the evolution of one academic science and engineering library, and sharing lessons learned while transforming an underutilized branch library into a vibrant hub of collaborative and problem-based learning. Within the physical commons of the library, equipped with non-traditional technology such as 3D printers and laser cutters, and staffed with personnel skilled at leveraging that technology in support of active learning and engagement, a depth of learning can occur in parallel with classroom instruction. The adjunct spaces and resources of the library become intertwined with the classroom, augmenting and amplifying the efforts of both. Emergent best practices are identified, along with promising results of early collaborations between the library and the classroom.ICERI2016, Seville, Spain - The Library in Support of the Next Generation Cla...

Across disciplines, the practice of education continues to evolve; supporting organizations such as the library are responding by reworking existing and developing new practices. With roots grounded deeply in constructivist learning theory, the emerging practice of makerspaces in libraries is proving an effective step in that evolution. Examples of associated active learning activity at one such library, an early adopter and first mover among academic libraries in adopting and integrating makerspace in libraries, are presented. The product of leveraging technology as catalyst for active learning and engagement within and beyond the physical commons of the library, a blending of formal and informal learning, accented by increased innovation and entrepreneurship across disciplinary and organizational boundaries, appears a natural result.Makerspaces in Libraries: Technology as catalyst for better learning, better ...

Libraries are thinking beyond the box—collaborative areas are opening up in spaces formerly devoted to densely packed bookstacks, and academic libraries are experimenting with widely expanded roles and forms of knowledge creation. Rather than a future where the library has been outmoded, join Tod for an inspirational and exciting romp: from library as maker space to partner in entrepreneurial enterprise; third place and home away from home, to home of hackathons, science and maker faires. As the pace of change accelerates, with new tools, opportunities, and potentially disruptive technology appearing almost daily, is this a brave new world of library practice or a return to libraries' roots?An inspiring future for academic libraries - a presentation at the Academic L...

Description: The maker movement is growing across the country and world. With interactive, participatory events and growing local communities, we've seen a shift. Individuals, professionals, and hobbyists from areas such as engineering, design, science, art, and more are coming together with one common thread: the desire to make.
Public libraries were the first on the scene to take notice and respond, but now we're beginning to see academic libraries recognize this untapped potential for their own communities. This emerging learning trend holds the promise of enormous change, bringing many researchers and students together from across disciplines in a truly collaborative way. This movement is about more than just the purchase of expensive equipment; it involves engagement, outreach, and knowledge about what drives the academic community. The academic environment is shifting toward content creation in a variety of forms, in turn reshaping learning, curricula, and research across the board. In order for libraries to continue to support the research and learning needs of their institutions, it is critical to go beyond traditional library materials, to understand what new resources and technologies the library can support for all on campus to use. 3D Printing Is Just the Beginning: The Future of Makerspaces within Academic ...
