Hi All, Yes, this Fall we are opening the Think Lab here at UMW Libraries. While we have been part of the planning process for the space, I would say thus far the library has played the role of landlord more than anything else. I see this partnership developing as time progresses. (I have a few projects planned myself.) A colleague, Tim Owens, is blogging about the Think Lab here: http://www.makerbot.com/blog/2012/07/26/help-tim-owens-build-an-awesome-makerspace/ Cheers, Paul +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Paul R Butler Assistant Systems Librarian Simpson Library University of Mary Washington 1801 College Avenue Fredericksburg, VA 22401 540.654.1756 libraries.umw.edu Sent from the mighty Dell Vostro 230. -----Original Message----- From: Code for Libraries [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Edward Iglesias Sent: Thursday, August 23, 2012 12:11 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [CODE4LIB] Maker Spaces and Academic Libraries Hello All, A colleague and I are going to be presenting at code4lib NE on the subject of makerspaces in academic libraries.
