LIS690-203: Intro to Makerspaces - "With the widespread call for makerspaces in schools, museums, and academic and public libraries as well as private cooperative spaces and the burgeoning FabLab movement worldwide, masters' students focusing on library and information science, information or computer technologies, or art and design can benefit from knowing the philosophical reasons, missions, ethical foundations for such spaces; the tools, projects and programs that such spaces might facilitate; and professional pathways for including such services in a variety of institutions. In addition, the peer-teaching model of makerspaces involves the need for strong instructional design capabilities, and supporting social sharing of information. This class will include policy and ethics issues including intellectual freedom, access, equity, diversity, and intellectual property, as well as lab sessions involving a variety of hands-on making opportunities.
