Audio recorders to zucchini seeds: Building a Library of Things
(2017)Library of Things.
Abstract
Attentive observers of today's library landscape will agree that a new movement is under way. Across the United States, libraries of all types are experimenting with building collections if items that defy tradition and expectation. The \textquotedblthings collection\textquotedbl movement is here. From the public library lending guitars and cake pans to the academic library offering umbrellas and green screens, libraries are reimagining and reinventing their roles by making \textquotedblthings\textquotedbl available for circulation to their users.
