- 1. BUILDING A MAKERSPACE : WHERETO START Bohyun Kim http://bohyunkim.net |Twitter: @bohyunkim Associate Director for Library Applications and Knowledge Systems Health Sciences and Human Services Library University of Maryland, Baltimore National Network of Libraries of Medicine – BeyondThe SEAWebinar Series June 15, 2016.
- 2. Today’s topics – A makerspace • Planning steps • Challenges • Lessons learned Stanford Bunny - Image from Wikipedia at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanford_bunny#/media/File:Stanford_Bu nny.png.
- 3. What Is a Makerspace, a Fab Lab, a Hackerspace, and a Co-working space? Image from Flickr: https://www.flickr.com/photos/thehub/12914505255
- 4. Why Care about the Maker Movement? • Production for individuals • Rapid prototyping • Innovation • Collaboration • Community • Making vs. Consuming • A serious economic, technological, and city-development force

- 7. The Maker Movement’s Impact on Health Sciences and Beyond • The Maker Movement and the 3D printing technology are making a significant impact on both health sciences research and beyond. • They catalyze innovation and promote entrepreneurship by emphasizing ‘making’ over ‘consuming’ and facilitating experiential learning and rapid prototyping. • Applications to health sciences by discipline : http://guides.hshsl.umaryland.edu/c.php?g=163717&p=1075336

- 19. Building a Makerspace: Where to Start http://www.hshsl.umaryland.edu/services/ispace/
- 20. Challenges • Unfamiliarity with maker activities • Assessing the community’s need • Securing the necessary funding Image by the author
- 21. 1. Equipment – Most Common Question • A preassembled desktop FDM (fused deposition modeling) 3D printer costs from $1,000 to $2,500. • The price of a desktop 3D scanner can range from $370 to $2,800. • Purchasing guides for 3D printers: • “2016 Best 3D Printer Guide,” 3D Hubs, https://www.3dhubs.com/best-3d-printer-guide. • “The Make: 3D Printer Buyer’s Guide,” Make: DIY Projects and Ideas for Makers, http://makezine.com/comparison/3dprinters/. • Tony Hoffman, “The 10 Best 3D Printers of 2016,” PC Magazine, April 11, 2016, http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2470038,00.asp.
- 22. Before Purchasing a 3D printer, • Purchase an extended warranty and a service plan for two to three years at least. • An active user group • Find out what other libraries use : • The public group on Facebook, “Makerspaces and the Participatory Libraries” https://www.facebook.com/groups/librarymaker/ • American Library Association/Library and InformationTechnology Association’s Maker Technology Interest Group, formerly the 3D Printing Interest Group, listserv http://www.ala.org/lita/lita-maker-technology
- 23. AVery Basic Setup • A one-kilogramABS or PLA filament spool -$20 to $50. • A makerspace with one of the most inexpensive 3D printers that do not require assembly, with some plastic filament, will require approximately $1,300 or so. • Additional tools and resources • a button maker, • a DNA model, • a molecule model, • a Lynda.com kiosk, etc.
- 26. Lessons Learned • Makerbot Replicator 2X is very picky. It only accepts ABS, not PLA. • Makerbot PLA is not compatible with Afinia H480! • A high performance PC with a special video card highly recommended for a 3D scanner (3D Systems Sense Scanner).
- 27. 2. Short-term & Long-term Planning • Whose responsibility will the makerspace be? • Implementation team =/= Operation team • What additional work will be required once the makerspace is up and running? • Space design
- 28. 3. StaffTraining • What kind of staff training and staff expertise will be necessary? • Come up with a plan to familiarize your staff with the new equipment, new services, and new work flow. • Encourage the staff to play with the new stuff! • Two different levels of training at UMB HS/HSL – orienters vs. ref desk staff
- 29. Image from Flickr: https://www.flickr.com/photos/jaymelnick/13482340923
- 30. 4. Service Goals • What kind of services will you offer for library patrons? • How will you deliver them? • Determine appropriate staffing accordingly.
- 32. 5. Fees • Will you charge fees? • If so, how will you calculate the appropriate amount? Image by the author
- 34. Pricing Scheme - Lessons Learned • Think about pricing way in advance. • No staff wants to measure the 3D printed object for cost. • Users want a simple pricing schema. • $3 for the 1st hour of 3D printing time and $1 per hr. after is reasonable to users. (No complaint received; No charge for a failed print.) • Determine and implement the payment process and the staff workflow early.
- 35. 6. StaffWorkflow • How will users interact with the makerspace? • Once the user comes in, what would be each part of the process until the user leaves satisfied? • What will guide the staff through the process?
- 37. 7. Policy • Hours • Location • Equipment • Services and costs • User responsibility • What is not permitted • Safety precautions • User agreement form http://www.hshsl.umaryland.edu/services/ispace/ispace-policy.cfm
- 39. Common Questions • How much does it cost to create a makerspace? • What tools and equipment should we buy? • How much of and what kind of space is needed? • How are we going to support the makerspace equipment?
- 40. 8. Community • How will the new makerspace become a valuable asset to your patrons? • What kind of services and programs will realize that vision? Image by the author
- 43. Questions to Ask First • What kind of activities do you want to see happening in your makerspace? • How are those activities related to the library’s missions and goals? https://www.facebook.com/OSU3Dprinting
- 44. Challenges • Weighing the risks against potential benefits • The sheer volume of comprehensive planning • Logistics including staff training and daily operation • Being an early adopter in the institution • Building a community • Continuing investment
- 45. LESSONS LEARNED • Clear interests from library patrons • Use cases may not be something you expected. • Need to teach / educate users about new technologies such as 3d printing, 3d modeling, 3d scanning, etc. • It takes time to build a community. • Promotion, promotion, promotion!

Notes de l'éditeur
- The HS/HSL was interested in investing in innovative technology such as 3D printing and a makerspace. In light of the tight operating budget, the HS/HSL needed to ensure that such investment would be relevant to the campus community and justifiable from the financial point of view at the same time.
