Makerspaces, part of the larger Maker Movement, are essentially
"community<br>
centers with tools." They are designed to engage learners of all
ages with<br>
tools and technologies as a way to craft new things and promote<br>
collaboration and mentorship. Participants may engage in activities
that<br>
range from bookbinding to construction to coding. These makerspaces<br>
(sometimes referred to by different names, including library labs
and<br>
tinker studios) are becoming increasingly common sights at public<br>
libraries. The University of Alberta's Teacher-Librarianship by
Distance<br>
Learning (TLDL) program provides this helpful, detailed guide to the
maker<br>
movement. Originally designed to accompany a university course, this
guide<br>
may appeal to those new to the idea of makerspaces, as well as those
who<br>
are more familiar with this growing movement and want to implement<br>
makerspaces into their library, community center, or school. The
Background<br>
section is a great place to start and includes a detailed
description of<br>
different kinds of makerspaces along with links to numerous articles
and<br>
other resources about the movement. Meanwhile, in the Application
section,<br>
visitors will find a number of materials to aide in setting up a<br>
makerspace. These materials include handouts and posters that define
a<br>
makerspace and outline the respective role of students and mentors
in such<br>
spaces, a short Prezi presentation, and a collection of links to
outside<br>
resources that may ignite future project ideas. [MMB]<br>
