ABSTRACT

Combining makerspaces and library services is an innovative idea that could positively and radically change the library user experience. The Library Makerspace is able to offer users a different view of the world, and give them the opportunity to explore and imagine new possibilities which they can then create. Therefore, this study focused on analyzing real-world makerspace examples to create suggests for utilizing this trend. The roles and concepts of library makerspaces derived through this research are as follows: space for infinite creativity as social communication space, study areas, job searches, self-publishing, idea incubation, collaboration, equipment and utilization, storytelling, expert mentoring and consulting, and so on. The possibilities are endless, and allow for the development and expansion of the library.
