<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri">Have 3D printers become commonplace? Is someone in your
library using pizza boxes to create their next-generation VR viewer? Perhaps
you're wondering just how sophisticated (and how spacious) a Maker Space needs
to be these days. What are the expectations from students and faculty? What
tools and services need to be part of a library's maker space?</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri">As libraries re-evaluate and redesign the services offered
to their communities, the ripples of change can be felt across the institution.
New job titles and functions appear in university employment postings-clinical
information specialist, data scientist, assessment librarian. Space previously
given over to stacks is reallocated. Information resources and tools reshape
the library's budget. Whether the process is visible or invisible to the
library patron, the functions of the library are being re-engineered at a core
level. What are the implications for library directors? And for content and
platform providers?</p>
