Wong-Welch, Jenny; Cripps, Richard M. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2023
Three dimensional (3D) design and printing are customizable and cost-effective approaches to developing small equipment and other items for use in various interdisciplinary applications. However, many pedagogical approaches to 3D printing focus more on the generation of artifacts than on the involvement of students as creators. Moreover, library…

Horton, Jennifer – Public Services Quarterly, 2021
As academic libraries are instituting 3D printing into their services, assessment of these programs is necessary. This paper analyses the 3D printing program at an academic library from inception through the one thousandth print request. Information such as who was using the library's 3D printers, were they associated with specific departments on…

Litsey, Ryan; Allen, Chisholm; Cassidy, Ryan; DeVet, Katherine E.; McEniry, Matthew – Journal of Access Services, 2020
3D printers represent a significant financial investment for academic libraries. The development of makerspaces and other library provided services centered around this technology is a testament to the role these technologies can play in offering new resources to students. However, given the investment it behooves the academic library to work to…

Gonzalez, Sara Russell; Bennett, Denise Beaubien – Issues in Science and Technology Librarianship, 2014
Initiating a 3D printing service in an academic library goes beyond justification of its value and gaining the necessary library and administrative support. Additional aspects such as policies, environmental safety, training, publicizing, maintenance, and scope of service must be considered. This article provides a guide to developing a 3D print…

Grayburn, Jennifer, Ed.; Lischer-Katz, Zack, Ed.; Golubiewski-Davis, Kristina, Ed.; Ikeshoji-Orlati, Veronica, Ed. – Council on Library and Information Resources, 2019
This volume, comprising eight chapters from experts in a variety of fields, examines the use of three-dimensional (3D) and virtual reality (VR) technologies in research and teaching, and the library's vital role in supporting this work. 3D modeling, 3D capture techniques, and VR enable faculty and students to engage with highly detailed 3D…

LeMaistre, Tiffany; Embry, Rebecka L.; Van Zandt, Lindsey L.; Bailey, Diane E. – Library Quarterly, 2012
In a comparative field study of ten libraries, we show how technological advances in electronic and digital resources have led to an onslaught of technology questions at the reference desk while prompting new and challenging work away from the desk. Libraries in our sample varied in their approaches to dealing with technological change, with…

Noh, Younghee – Journal of Academic Librarianship, 2010
This study aimed to improve the current state of electronic resource evaluation in libraries. While the use of Web DB, e-book, e-journal, and other e-resources such as CD-ROM, DVD, and micro materials is increasing in libraries, their use is not comprehensively factored into the general evaluation of libraries and may diminish the reliability of…
