Hacking, Making & Creating - at the library! Technology Innovations & Customer-Created...

Preview:

DESCRIPTION

Traditionally, when our library customers wanted to make something, we'd send them to the craft section or to the "how to write a poem" section of the library. Today's makers want to make gadgets, 3D-printed prototypes, and a video series. And guess what? They want the library's help! In this presentation, David provides an overview of technology innovations that focus on "making" - including hackerspaces, digital media labs, coworking spaces, and self-publishing tools, and provides ideas on how to incorporate these innovations into your library.
