The document describes the transformation of the DeLaMare Science and Engineering Library at the University of Nevada, Reno into an active space for collaboration, creation, and discovery. Through space redesign, a cultural shift toward radical collaboration, and "wow factors" like a Burning Man art car and 3D printing services, the library moved from being lethargic to being a dynamic, energetic space that supports STE(A)M and partnerships across campus and the community in just three years. The change was led by Tod Colegrove and involved extraordinary staff, extraordinary spaces and tools, new service models, and increased faculty and student engagement.

- 4. “ Vision contd. “Recognizing this critical interplay between knowledge and innovation, the University of Nevada, Reno has established one of the first centers in the nation built specifically to embrace these dynamics of the 21st century.”

- 22. Space redesign • Free up 18,000 square feet for study/collaboration space by • Moving journal back-runs into ASRS • Collapse remaining collection into existing compact shelving • Relocate circulation desk • Staff in public areas • Offices = group study rooms
- 23. Culture shift Extraordinary people required
- 24. Radical collaboration •Spaces, furnishings, tools •Service models •Faculty/student engagement •Community outreach •Wow factor
- 25. Wow factors: a Burning Man art car
- 26. Print services: paper or plastic?
- 27. Ben King, Chemistry faculty “one of the very hard things about teaching chemistry is explaining that molecules have shape. This basically removes that obstacle ... so it will change how we teach chemistry and how we look at molecules on a daily basis. It's also just plain fun."

Notes de l'éditeur
- The @One floor of the Knowledge Center is a mecca of leading edge technology and media production: the DataWorks lab for geospacial, mathematical and statistical needs; a poster and image production area; the Dynamic Media Lab for digital creation and production; high end editing room; professional sound booth, and green screen studio. There’s also equipment checkout: laptops, cameras, video cameras, sound equipment, iPads and other tablets, etc. In @One, we consciously privilege the image over the text.
- The Knowledge Center: high tech, high touch, culture, art, community. Cardboard Gandhi with creator, Joe Delappe, professor of art.
- Automated storage and retrieval system. Approx 750,000 items stored across six aisles. Very heavily used by @One, Library Services (circulation) and Special Collections. Unique: we have retrieval stations on 3 levels.
- Beautiful, historic building on the historic quad.
- Pretty typical – one guy over in the corner. Lively, isn’t it?
- Not very inviting. Not much space for study or reflection or even napping.
- As the new head of the library asked, “Given the ideal location and size of the potential community, the library should have been a hotbed of learning and research activity.Where was everybody?”
- Transformer!
- Note variety of activities, groups and collaborations. Whiteboard paint on the walls encourages ad hoc study groups.
- Notice chalkboards – still preferred by a good number of faculty and students!
- On the entry level of the library, this space used to be Circulation and permanent reserves. Now, peer tutoring area with lots of space and highly visible drop-in tutoring services.
- Circulation now a much smaller service desk and perm reserves filled with LEGO Mindstorms NXT, Arduino kits, AR.Drones, and more.
- Even the basement is alive with activity!
- Culture shift is brought about by energetic and adventurous librarians such as Tod Colegrove and Chrissy Klenke. DIY librarians. Because of the many challenges involved in making transformative changes success depends on entrepreneurial staff to champion projects, embrace ambiguity and who are humble enough to learn alongside the students.
- Basically, 3D printing lays down thin layers plastic and as the layers build up, a 3 dimensional object is formed. Above are a few examples of the many objects that have been created on our 3D printers during the first 3.5 months of operation.
- Faculty use 3D printing for many things including instructional purposes…
- Another workshop in the library but taught by a local community member. Reaching out to the local community of developers and “maker” types is an important part of the plan.
- Priorities and future plans
