Collection Development Policy Statement: Makerspace Books

Levels of Collecting Intensity

The focus of this collection is not well encompassed by call numbers. Books about using our specific technologies such 3D printing, Laser Cutting, CNC machine, CAD software, Raspberry Pi and microcontrollers, book binding and sewing will receive the most attention. Books about Makerspaces, Makerspace education and improving diversity, equity and inclusion within Makerspaces are a secondary focus. Digital methods and programming outside of CAD and microcontroller use will be very limited in their representation in the collection.
