Thanks so much for this. One immediate question I have regards staff
training. Who did you get to assemble and maintain the 3D printers etc...
Is it all enthusiastic self taught staff or did you hire folks especially
for these positions?
Thanks,

Actually, Ed, this would not only make for a good blog post (please, so
it doesn't get lost in email space), but I would love to see a
discussion of what kind of revision control would work:
1) for libraries (git is gawdawful nerdy)
2) for linked data

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
Nate,
That's a great question. Here's one take -- fast, loose, not re-read, nor the
opinion of my employer, Harvard University, but is based on my observations

First off, we don't have maker spaces in the library, but I could see them
being very useful here. I think one

Can anyone on the list help clarify for me why, in an academic setting,
this kind of equipment and facility isn't part of a laboratory in an
academic department?
I'd say that I hate to play devil's advocate, but that would be a patent
There have been two very fine answers already (Go Brooke and Jeff!)
but I'll add one more data point. The purpose of an academic library
(at least every academic library that I've been associated with) can
be boiled down to, pretty much, two things:
1. Support the curriculum of the school
2.

Just to be clear, I was not suggesting that it is a bad idea to have these
spaces in academic libraries. Quite the contrary.
I'm not sure I've heard anyone state these arguments this clearly... and it
is good to hear them.
As a public librarian I always keep an eye on what happens in academic

Joe, and really everyone, I think this is all a question of scope, scale
and community needs/demands.
I absolutely think creative/generative/participatory spaces belong in
public libraries.
I firmly believe that the public library of the future is as much about
access to tools as it about access

something like CouchDB [2] and marc-in-json [3] would be a fantastic way to

Greetings,
My apologies for cross-posting. I am writing an article for Computers in
Libraries on electronic resource usage data. I want to find out how widely
used COUNTER and SUSHI are in libraries and how well the COUNTER standard
suits the needs of libraries. This year, I worked with COUNTER

I also assumed that Ed wasn't suggesting that we literally use github as
our platform, but I do want to remind folks how far we are from having
people friendly versioning software -- at least, none that I have seen
has felt intuitive. The features of git are great, and people have

can be processed through workflows as a single unit.
In terms of LD there version needs to be defined in terms of:

I agree entirely that these would need to be a collection of triples with its
own set of attributes/metadata describing the collection. Basically a record

But I see a bigger problem with the direction this thread has taken so far. The
use of versions has been

That depends on which end of the stick one grasps.
