Shareable: Libraries Reinvented as Laboratories

John Shank

John Shank:

I think it is time that academic libraries become (why not call it) creatatorium's and align themselves with one big aspect of the Internet digital revolution - that is everyone now can become a creator and producer of all types of information and media and libraries should lead the way in faciliting this process and providing community spaces to make it happen.

Great question! I thought of the term as I was reading the above article this morning and did a quick Google search and did not find any relevant uses of the word. Although, I am thinking the term Creatorium might work better and sound better. The basic meaning behind the word is similar to the terms imaginarium or exploratorium. With a twist instead of only inspiring imagination and exploration let enable creation of ideas, tools, and products digital and physical. The library could become a community hub or nexus for innovators, educators, and inventors taking data,information, and knowledge then using tools provided by the library to create or turn their ideas into books, videos, and now with 3D printers create models and working products.

ScienceDirect.com - Library & Information Science Research - Innovation in academic libraries: An analysis of university librarians' perspectives

John Shank

How do we change the framework and boundaries of our profession so that we do not limit our creativity and innovation? Maybe we should create centers of innovation that operate outside traditional academic library boundaries with staff both librarians and non-librarians that are encouraged and rewarded for their idea's innovations.
