This panel explores the ways in which the University Library and the Ann Arbor community maker spaces are serving the local DIY culture. U-M librarians Rebecca Price and Linda Knox talk about the maker spaces on U-M's north campus and Emily Puckett Rodgers talks about the Ann Arbor maker community and the Ann Arbor Mini Maker Faire.

Maker spaces offer artists, designers, engineers and entrepreneurs access to tools, software, space and expertise that enable them to fabricate and test out ideas and create new projects.
