Library makerspaceA library makerspace, also known as a hackerspace or hacklab, is an area and/or service that offers library patrons an opportunity to create intellectual and physical materials using resources such as computers, 3-D printers, 3D scanning, audio and video capture and editing tools, and traditional arts and crafts supplies. In the field of library science, makerspaces are classified as a type of library service offered by librarians to patrons.

DocumentA document is a written, drawn, presented, or memorialized representation of thought, often the manifestation of non-fictional, as well as fictional, content. The etymology of the word "document" derives from the Latin documentum, which denotes a "teaching" or "lesson": the verb doceō denotes "to teach". Historically, the term "document" was usually used to indicate written proof useful as evidence of a truth or fact.
Bibliographic databaseA bibliographic database is a database of bibliographic records. This is an organised online collection of references to published written works like journal and newspaper articles, conference proceedings, reports, government and legal publications, patents and books.
Electronic mediaElectronic media are media that use electronics or electromechanical means for the audience to access the content. This is in contrast to static media (mainly print media), which today are most often created digitally, but do not require electronics to be accessed by the end user in the printed form.MicroformA microform is a scaled-down reproduction of a document made for the purposes of transmission, storage, reading, and printing. The original document is typically in the form of photographic film or paper. Four formats are common: microfilm (reels), microfiche (flat sheets), micro-opaques (like microcards), and aperture cards.
DVDDigital optical disc data storage formatDVD (Digital Video Disc or Digital Versatile Disc) is a digitaloptical discdata storage format. It was invented and developed in 1995 and first released on November 1, 1996, in Japan. The medium can store any kind of digital data and has been widely used to store video programs (watched using DVD players), software and other computer files.
Compact discThe compact disc (CD) is a digitaloptical discdata storage format co-developed by Philips and Sony to store and play digital audio recordings. It employs the Compact Disc Digital Audio (CD-DA) standard and is capable of holding uncompressed stereo audio. First released in Japan in October 1982, the CD was the second optical disc format to reach the market, following the larger LaserDisc (LD).
Blu-rayDigital optical disc formatBlu-ray (Blu-ray Disc or BD) is a digitaloptical discdata storage format designed to supersede the DVD format. It was invented and developed in the early-mid 2000s and released worldwide on June 20, 2006, capable of storing several hours of high-definition video (HDTV720p and 1080p).
3D printing3D printing, also called additive manufacturing, is the construction of a three-dimensional object from a CAD model or a digital 3D model. It can be done in a variety of processes in which material is deposited, joined or solidified under computer control, with the material being added together (e.g. plastics, liquids, or powder grains being fused), typically layer by layer.
Cassette tapeMagnetic audio tape recording formatThe cassette tape, officially named the Compact Cassette, and also known as audio cassette, or simply tape or cassette, is an analogmagnetic tape recording format for audio recording and playback. Invented by Lou Ottens and his team at the Dutch company Philips, the Compact Cassette was introduced in August 1963, and Philips freely licensed the patented format to other manufacturers from 1966.
3D scanning3D scanning is the process of analyzing a real-world object or environment to collect three dimensional data of its shape and possibly its appearance (e.g. color). The collected data can then be used to construct digital 3D models. A 3D scanner can be based on many different technologies, each with its own limitations, advantages and costs. Many limitations in the kind of objects that can be digitized are still present.
