{"product_id":"terrific-makerspace-projects-juan-denzer-9781538131824","title":"Terrific Makerspace Projects: A Practical Guide for Librarians","description":"Terrific Makerspace Projects: A Practical Guide for Librarians features fifteen customizable projects that were designed as projects created by librarians\/makerspace facilitators, rather than projects in which librarians guided others (makerspace users). These projects were showcased during library events with the goal of promoting the makerspace, as well as other library services, while using them to build connections both within and external to the library. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book outlines maker projects in detail and provides plenty of photos and resources so readers can recreate, customize, and implement them. People at all skill levels in every type of makerspace will find something they can try, with projects that range from simple and low-tech to more complex and tech-heavy. Most projects are inexpensive, taking advantage of free online tools, upcycled or repurposed materials, and low cost electronics such as Arduinos. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEach project can be approached as an offering for makerspace visitors or can be created by library employees themselves as tools to engage in outreach and promote the makerspace, library services, the institution, and more. Every project has been created and tested in a real library setting by the authors, who present lessons learned, possible variations, and different ideas on how to implement the projects to their fullest extent. Explore the idea of using the makerspace to highlight the value of other library services, or simply find new and fun ways to engage with your users. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book also offers suggestions on how to be a great maker, and tips on makerspace safety, finding low-cost materials, and more. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhether you're just beginning your makerspace or looking for fresh ideas for your established space, this book has something to offer. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Juan Denzer, Sharona Ginsberg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 153813182X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781538131824\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rowman \u0026amp; Littlefield Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/12\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 134\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.90h x 8.30w x 0.20d","brand":"Juan Denzer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43987470647551,"sku":"9781538131824","price":73.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2eefebbf-e15a-4c69-8649-8161523e7bf1.jpg?v=1683289176","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/terrific-makerspace-projects-juan-denzer-9781538131824","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
