TLN's Recordings of ASC's May Makerspace Workshop
by Katie Rothley 07 Jun '21

07 Jun '21

Hello Michlib-L, There was a lot of interest in the free makerspace workshop that I had shared with Michlib over a month ago, and questions about recordings: Recordings of our TLN ASC Spring Workshop are now available. I forgot to start recording before our first presenter, Jeff, started speaking and then forgot to stop recording between panels 1 and 2 so it starts abruptly in Part 1, panels 1 (Big library makerspaces) & 2 (small library makerspacse to no space) are in the same recording without a break, and the third panel (independent makerspaces) is Part 2. Feel welcome to view them here: https://vimeo.com/555771915/546f7e3b0c and here: https://vimeo.com/555775052/5de30a3fb1 They won't be up forever! Thanks to the Library Network for hosting the workshop and the recordings. Sincerely, Katie Rothley, MLIS Marketing & Outreach Librarian Lyon Township Public Library 27005 S. Milford Rd. South Lyon, MI 48178
