Libraries are Changing
![Page 6: CLASS Conference 2014](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062419/558c8744d8b42a1b078b4722/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Librarians are Changing
• “To be a librarian is not to be neutral, or passive, or waiting for a question. It is to be a radical positive change agent within your community.”
• ― R. David Lankes
![Page 7: CLASS Conference 2014](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062419/558c8744d8b42a1b078b4722/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
3 Themes
• From place to platform• From atoms to bits• To atoms again
![Page 8: CLASS Conference 2014](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062419/558c8744d8b42a1b078b4722/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Library as Platform
– Be open to all– Give access to every scrap of information it has, including
its digital content, but also metadata about that content, its usage, and the social interactions around it
– Enable new products and services to be built by anyone with an idea
– Integrate everything the library knows into the entire Net ecosystem

![Page 9: CLASS Conference 2014](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062419/558c8744d8b42a1b078b4722/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
What does this mean
• Focus on enabling technologies• Reduce focus on books• Increase focus on non traditional lending
![Page 10: CLASS Conference 2014](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062419/558c8744d8b42a1b078b4722/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
What is a Tool Library?Tool libraries are just like traditional libraries, but with tools instead of books. They are great for people who can’t/don’t want to buy/rent tools they are only going to use once in a while.

What hat will you wear?
• Wearable Technology • Sewing and Knitting
![Page 14: CLASS Conference 2014](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062419/558c8744d8b42a1b078b4722/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
• Maker– Robots– Arduino– Soldering– Electronics– Quadcopters
![Page 15: CLASS Conference 2014](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062419/558c8744d8b42a1b078b4722/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
• Maker– Carpenters– Blacksmiths– Welders– Shipwrights
![Page 16: CLASS Conference 2014](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062419/558c8744d8b42a1b078b4722/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
These are things, therefore
• Cataloging• Lending policies• Instruction
![Page 17: CLASS Conference 2014](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062419/558c8744d8b42a1b078b4722/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
We have always done this
• This Library afforded me the Means of Improvement by constant Study– Benjamin Franklin
![Page 18: CLASS Conference 2014](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062419/558c8744d8b42a1b078b4722/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
We Distribute the Future
• The future is already here — it's just not very evenly distributed.
• William Gibson
![Page 19: CLASS Conference 2014](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062419/558c8744d8b42a1b078b4722/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Things that will stay the same
• We will continue to acquire, organize and lend books.
• We will aid seekers of information in finding that information mostly through the use of databases.
![Page 20: CLASS Conference 2014](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062419/558c8744d8b42a1b078b4722/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Things that will change
• Bits are cheaper to store and redistribute than atoms unless artificially restricted, therefore, library budgets will continue to focus on the digital.
• Consequences– Location does not matter– Collections matter less– Expectations of 24/7 access
![Page 21: CLASS Conference 2014](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062419/558c8744d8b42a1b078b4722/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
How about the atoms?
• Makerspaces and community building efforts require real people and buildings. These activities are key to keeping libraries open.
![Page 22: CLASS Conference 2014](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062419/558c8744d8b42a1b078b4722/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Chattanooga
• 4th Floor• Our Vision: The 4th floor is a public laboratory and
educational facility with a focus on information, design, technology, and the applied arts. The more than 12,000 sq foot space hosts equipment, expertise, programs, events, and meetings that work within this scope. While traditional library spaces support the consumption of knowledge by offering access to media, the 4th floor is unique because it supports the production, connection, and sharing of knowledge by offering access to tools and instruction.

University of Nevada Reno
• There are two student 3D "wranglers" who anyone can make an appointment with through the DeLaMare's online libguide to show them how use the 3D printers or to trouble shoot problems.

Some of what they offer
![Page 27: CLASS Conference 2014](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062419/558c8744d8b42a1b078b4722/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
About those 3D Printers
• Get one, they are cheap.• Just because you have one does not mean you
have a makerspace but it is a start.
![Page 28: CLASS Conference 2014](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062419/558c8744d8b42a1b078b4722/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Develop a Maker Mindset
• If something breaks think about trying to fix it.• Find something you love to do and offer a
class on it.• Go to workshops.• Read Make magazine.
