“…In addition, in a study, it was suggested that the entire library faculty should join the makerspace team in order to staff makerspace, so it was decided that all staff in the team would work two hours a week alternately. While the staff members in the team were satisfied with this situation, they reported that it was a break for them and they were excited to bring their interests and skills to the work environment (Markgraf and Hillis, 2020: 8). Finally, when we look at the collection issue, it is seen that there is only wood design equipment in the public library, and equipment in all areas in the university library.…”

This study is intended to determine the developments in Turkey and to reveal the quality of the libraries that offer makerspace service. In the light of the data, obtained from the Ministry of Culture and Tourism at the time of the study, one university library and three public libraries where this service was offered in Turkey were examined. However, one public library was examined in detail within the scope of the study. Qualitative research methods were used, and the data collected by the semi-structured interview technique were evaluated with the descriptive analysis method. According to the results not much progress has been observed in Turkey regarding the services offered by the library makerspace. The fact that the public libraries evaluated in this study offer only one service, however, shows that they cannot fully realize the maker philosophy.

“…The results of the study of Odili et al 1 support the argument that educational institutions opt the online resources for e-learning. Markgraf and Hillis 46 mention in their study the procedures of creating and establishing a library makerspace. Similarly, Pashootanizadeh and Rafie 47 highlight the views of users and public library directors through social media.…”

This paper attempts to examine the e-libraries, digital libraries, electronic libraries, and online libraries employing bibliometric study techniques from 1971 to 2020. It focuses to consolidate the published documents on the library indexed in Web of Science. It has been observed that we found 4266 published documents employing bibliometric analysis. The study findings show that digital libraries are the top topic, proceeding paper is the top type of document, and most are published in the English language. Similarly, the year 2006 to 2010 has the highest number of published documents, top author Fox EA, Dept. Comp Sci top organisation, United States top country, and digital libraries as a top keyword has been found. Further, the name of Liu et al. has been at the top of the author’s list. Moreover, the results are presented in tables and figures to show the trend of data.

“…According to Markgraf and Hillis (2021), a makerspace "is usually some combination of space, tools, technologies, expertise, and community, but not necessarily all" (p. 1). Martinez and Stager (2019) meanwhile, emphasize the value of a "making" environment for facilitating connection, collaboration, and learning along with creativity and innovation.…”

Scholarly investigations into the extent and nature of schools and public libraries collaborating in the "maker/making" space are scant. This research sets out to address this knowledge gap, by investigating the perspectives of public libraries' staff: How public libraries and schools have worked together on makerspaces and "making" programmes, the motivations for and the nature of collaborations, and challenges that need addressing for successful collaborations, and their perceived outcomes of such collaborations. This study shows how through collaborating with schools, public libraries can make meaningful contributions to social and digital inclusion in their communities, fulfilling their roles as social institutions. Our findings highlight the importance of contextual flexibility to be considered in such collaborations, with partnering organizations negotiating a suitable model for working together. The roles and contributions of each party involved could be considered across spectrums of engagement, planning, resource-sharing, and activities, depending on the contextual needs, priorities, and requirements of the partnering institutions. We discuss how these can be achieved through dialogic communication for sustained partnerships.
