SUMMARY:Makerspaces and Open Access for Whom
DESCRIPTION:This is an event planned for Open Access Week. Speakers Ma
 ggie Melo, assistant professor at the School of Information and Librar
 y Science, and Drew Robertson, technical supervisor at BeAM, will desc
 ribe how makerspaces are resources for opening access to research, inn
 ovation, and collaboration across various communities. They will prese
 nt a dichotomy often found about makerspaces that just because a resou
 rce is openly available does not mean it is accessible, and suggest va
 rious scenarios in which makerspaces can be used in different ways dep
 ending on the needs of the user. Example tools and objects created in 
 BeAM will be passed around. A tutorial in the Kenan Science Library's 
 BeAm location will follow this presentation.\nAbout the Speakers\nMagg
 ie Melo is an assistant professor in the School of Information and Lib
 rary Science at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Her r
 esearch specialization resides at the intersection of innovation, crit
 ical maker culture, and the development of equitable and inclusive col
 laborative learning spaces (e.g., makerspaces) in academic libraries. 
 Her work has appeared in portal: Libraries and the Academy, Hybrid Ped
 agogy, and Computers and Composition Online. She co-founded the Unive
 rsity of Arizona’s first publicly accessible and interdisciplinary m
 akerspace – iSpace – and strategically facilitated its growth from
  a 400-square-foot room in the Science-Engineering Library to a 5,000-
 square-foot facility soon to be housed in the university’s mainl lib
 rary. She is also a serial maker! She enjoys embedding circuits into t
 hings, additive and subtractive fabrication, dabbling with AI, digital
  world making, and more. She is also the founder of the Women Techmake
 rs Tucson Hackathon, the Southwest’s first women’s-only hackathon.
 \nDrew Robertson is Technical Supervisor at BeAM, Murray Hall.\nFind
