This study aims to investigate the experiences of librarians/staff members who are responsible for facilitating makerspaces in public libraries, including their works and core competencies, their needs and experiences of training, and future plans in makerspaces. To do that, we carried out semi-structured interviews with 11 librarians/staff members and 1 library director from 7 public library makerspaces. Findings show that the participants received financial supports from the government agencies or/and relied on their library budget to run makerspaces. They identified competencies such as technology literacy, domain knowledge, teaching/programming, willingness to learn and curiosity, communication skills, leadership, and design-thinking. They have future plans for expanding spaces, purchasing equipments, program development, and so on. We believe findings could be useful for those who currently manage or plan to implement a public library makerspace by understanding practical issues and training needs in makerspaces.

This study suggested that the concept of creative zone raised by the national interest of the 'Creation' should be extended in public libraries. The concept of creative zone in public libraries was analyzed on the basis of 'Con-creative structure ontology' by Rombach. As we understand a creator and creation as the relation of 'subject'-'object', The current concept of 'Creation' dilutes the possibility of 'Autogenese' that all beings as a subject possess. But 'Con-creative Structure' describes the process of 'Autogenese' through sharing and mutual communication of all beings. The formation process of Con-creative Structure corresponds to the philosophy of the library that supports the self-growth through communication and sharing. 'Co-working Space' is more suitable for the substantive image of Con-creativity than 'Makerspace'. Therefore, this study analyzed circumstances of creative zone in public libraries and Co-working Space in business areas and provided the conceptive and substantive modeling for Co-working Space in public libraries.

The academic library has the ideal environment as a facilitator of knowledge creation, as a space where researchers can collaborate and as a creation hub center on campus. Recently, based on the 4th Industrial Revolution and creative theories, the maker space is gradually being introduced into academic libraries in foreign countries. Maker Space of the academic library is the best place to discover new knowledge and interests, practice, and interdisciplinary education. In this study, we propose a plan to introduce the maker space of domestic university libraries through case studies of domestic and overseas university and university libraries.

The author investigated the momentum of the maker movement and its educational implications with the following four research questions: 1. What is the maker movement? 2. What is the nature of our societal interest in the maker movement? 3. Which learning theories are associated with the maker movement? 4. What are the educational implications of the maker movement? The author reviewed the history of education in terms of the maker movement and concluded that Papert's learning-by-making approach provided a theoretical foundation of the maker movement. The maker movement aims to engage participants in Do-It-Yourself(DIY) activities, the spirit of tinkering, and a hands-on approach. Also, the maker movement meets the educational demands of fostering students' 21st-century abilities and technological literacy. Lastly, the author anticipated the issues that may arise following the introduction of the maker movement in K-12 schools. In conclusion, the author discussed the challenges of the school maker education movement and suggested the bottom-up approach to utilize the school resources of technology and engineering education.

The recognition of public libraries as development partners places an onus on public libraries to provide services that will enhance national integration and development. Whereas libraries have been known to provide information resources in various formats, recent developments around the world have shown that it is no longer enough to provide information to users. Users are being encouraged to become knowledge producers and not just consumers. In this regard, libraries are rethinking their strategies. One of the consequences of this, is the creation of makerspaces: a space for creating things within the library. This paper explores the prospects of makerspaces in Nigerian public libraries. The paper identified how makerspaces could lead to national development by providing access to technology, providing opportunity for users to work together thereby promoting unity and togetherness among the citizenry of a given society as well as providing an enabling environment for people to be creative. The paper argued that makerspaces in Nigerian public libraries will lead to increased patronage and users' satisfaction, change in perception of librarians by the public, promote synergy among citizens and result in economic development.

The purpose is to suggest directions for the creation of a manufacturing space that can promote the recovery of the industrial ecosystem in the city and the start-up activities of creative workers and manufacturers. To do this, we compared the cases of US and domestic maker space. The analysis results are as follows. First, we need a plan of location and space. Second, it is necessary to establish the principle of equipment construction. Third, various programs for education, collaboration and exchange should be provided. It is thought that the maker space plan and construction direction derived from this study can be used as a basic data to be used for the formation of domestic makerspace in the future.

Rapid development of educational technology requires fundamental changes not only in the form of instruction and role of teachers in school education but also in the competency development of students. Specifically, the emergence of new technologies such as makerspace, virtual reality (VR), and robotics has made it more challenging for teachers and students in the 21st century. However, even with the argument for the changes, less has been discussed about how much in-service teachers are aware of and how they are preparing for such changes. Therefore, this study intends to explore what would be required to students and teachers, and for instructional changes with more technologies available through the lens of elementary school teachers. The study results suggest, similar to previous studies, in-service elementary teachers recognize that student competencies such as creativity, collaboration, communication, and problem-solving skills are important. They also perceived that teacher change in role and attitude, and for instructional method and classroom culture are crucial as catalysts of change. Unique and interesting finding from this study is about the importance of nurturing digital citizenship in technology-infused learning environment. The digital citizenship has been less highlighted in the past, but this study revealed it should be treated as a priority.

Adverting of the 4th Industrial Revolution, maker education is emerged as a new paradigm and related studies keep increasing, As ideal human resources model has been changed. For this study, 65 theses on maker education were reviewed. The study has mainly analyzed the key factors for applying maker education in school. Though this study, it hopes to propose how further maker education studies should be developed. From the theses, 1.4 percent of the maker education program is actually usable in regular school class. For utilizing this education, it requires prior training and needs computer facilities. Most programs were designed as fusion form in more than two subject and included cooperative activities and sharing time. Further studies should be conducted on the application of education programs of within regular classes of school, recommended tools based on the school levels and prior training for tools, established the Makerspace in schools, shared student's output, evaluated students, and teacher training.

The paper explores the formation of Makerspace in public libraries, based on a survey on space usage and programs being operated. The respondents targeted librarians in public libraries. The survey is divided into two categories: in space usage section, the questionnaire explores level of openness of the space used; availability of equipment rental services; frequencies of the space rented; cost of management; and the number of people in charge. In program section, the survey asks on types of program being operated; spaces used for the program; age groups of participants, time and budget spent for the programs. The survey resulted in highlighting difficulties in dealing with a lack of equipment, space, and people in charge. The paper therefore raises the need of guidelines for the area, cost, and the equipment needed, based on mid- and long-term consultation with expert groups.
