The rise of makerspaces within public and academic libraries has
led to a wide variety of books, articles, and presentations that
discuss how to set up your space, what equipment to buy, and, to a
lesser degree, how to get the support of your administration or the
community to include a new space within your library. One of the
first makerspace books published focusing on adult makers rather
than on K-12, Makerspaces for Adults: Best Practices and Great
Projects highlights how to integrate your makerspace within
university and public libraries and the wider community. Discover
how you can connect your makerspace with service learning to
support a variety of groups, take your makerspace tools to various
points of need through community partnerships, and build
relationships with faculty, students, and patrons through
makerspace projects. You will learn about collaboration,
innovation, course integration, experiential education, community
engagement, working with adults with disabilities, accessible
makerspaces, design thinking, 3D printing, vinyl and laser cutters,
3D design, VR projects, and so much more. Intended for librarians,
faculty, and staff who would like to implement more making into
their classes and build productive collaborations, this book
includes sections that cover academic libraries, connecting to the
curriculum, public libraries and community outreach, and concludes
with a variety of tried and tested projects. Chapters cover a range
of issues from building an accessible makerspace to developing
programming for fashion, archaeology, or literature courses. Each
project features background information, equipment lists,
step-by-step instructions, as well as tips and lessons learned,
providing readers with a guide to develop their own projects.

Can we align global production and consumption systems with
sustainability? Can business growth actually lead to a healthier
planet? Can companies innovate through the circular economy to
create competitive advantage and genuine impact? Waste to Wealth
proved that the emerging circular economy advantage exists - now
Lacy, Long and Spindler show you how to realize it at speed and
scale in The Circular Economy Handbook. We stand at a crossroads,
with rising geopolitical and geo-economic tensions, massive
technological change and a host of social and environmental
challenges. We are pushing planetary boundaries to their limits,
with climate change and threats to biodiversity and oceans as just
a few examples. Significant impacts are already being felt, and
both people and planet face potentially catastrophic and
irreversible consequences if we don't urgently change our global
model and systems. Our current linear "take, make, waste" models of
production and consumption will not be sustainable in a world of
some 9 billion people by 2050, especially with ever-expanding rates
of consumption. Thriving within these dynamics demands more than
incremental adjustments to business-as-usual. The circular economy
offers a powerful means to decouple growth from use of scarce and
harmful resources, enabling greater production and consumption with
fewer negative environmental impacts-at the same time, making
companies more innovative and competitive. In fact, this book shows
that $4.5 trillion in economic value is at stake. Delivering on the
promise of a circular economy demands impact and scale, extending
through value chains and, ultimately, disrupting the entire
economic system. In The Circular Economy Handbook, the authors
illuminate the path from insight to action, from linear to
circular. With case studies, advice and practical guidance, they
show leaders how to pivot towards a holistic circular organization,
embedding circularity internally and delivering broad-based system
change. With unique insights across business models, technologies,
and industries - featuring stories and real-world examples from
circular pioneers - this book is the essential guide to help
companies become leaders in the movement to secure the circular
economy advantage.
