Academic Library Use of 3d Printing


Description

The report looks closely at how 25 colleges are using 3D printing, predominantly in their academic libraries. The report helps its readers to answer questions such as: how much are academic libraries spending on their 3D printers and related peripherals? What kind of equipment are they buying? What is policy on the technology replacement cycle? Who is making the decisions on equipment purchases? Which academic departments are the heaviest users of 3D printing equipment? What percentage of use is for education? For research? For personal use? How much staff time does 3D printing consume? How can staff time be maximized? What are the biggest problems that libraries are encountering in developing and implementing 3D printing programs? How is equipment being funded? What percentage of funding is grant or gift derived? What percentage of cost is funded through cost recovery charges to end users or through service agreements? How are libraries handling the potential environmental hazards of 3D printing? How has the program affected the library’s standing on campus? What kind of advice are librarians who have had programs up and running offering to their peers? Just a few of the report’s many findings are that: * Mean spending on the initial stock of 3-D printers and related hardware and software was $6,328 with a median of $5,000 and a range of $0-$23,000.* For 52% of the colleges sampled, the library or departmental operating budget was the primary source of funding for the 3D printing operation.* Some interesting modes of campus collaboration are emerging. One library gave engineering students a privileged position on accessibility in exchange for engineering department help in equipment support and maintenance. Another research librarian gushed: “the Library has become a hotbed for cross-pollination between researchers and entrepreneurs.”

FOOD, GIRLS, AND OTHER THINGS I CAN'T HAVE is the story of a boy who doesn't fit--in his pants, in his family, in his school, or in his life. If Academic Library Use of 3d Printing ebook pdf Andrew Zansky can only be thin enough, smart enough, or popular enough, he thinks everything in his life will be perfect.

"Danielle Hall, Teacher" The structure provides new readers with a real sense of accomplishment 'Writing to the Telegraph lets off steam,' confesses one regular correspondent - and thank goodness for the rest of us that it does. Now that anyone can publish their opinions online, the Telegraph letters page remains a rare bastion of well-written, carefully edited wit on the topics of the day. In this fifth volume of wise, waggish and downright outrageous letters for which there wasn't enough space - or editorial stomach - in the paper, we offer another hilariously alternative review of the year. With an agenda as enticing as ever, ranging from Chris Huhne's speeding points to a royal baby, a new Pope to Andy Murray, it will prove, once again, that the Telegraph's letters writers have an astute sense of what really matters.
