This paper describes the process of implementing a 3D printing service in the Education Library of The University of Florida, Gainesville, a large, doctoral-degree granting, research university. Included are examples of lesson plans featuring 3D printing, creation of 3D models, how to find existing models, and examples of how to integrate 3D printing into the K-12 curriculum. The author addresses the benefits and challenges ofthis process for library staff and patrons as well as potential uses for the future.  \nIntroduction  \nThe Education Library at the University of Florida, Gainesville was given the generous opportunity to purchase a 3D printer utilizing a grant from the Science Library on campus. Much of the ground work was laid by librarians at the Science Library and therefore only minor tweaks were needed to get the project rolling at the Education Library.  \nThe relatively low cost of purchasing and operating a 3D printer makes it more affordable than ever before to use in a classroom setting. In 1995 a “very low cost” rapid prototyping printer (the original name for 3D printers) was approximately $20,000,(Hull et al., 1995) . In comparison, the one used in our library cost around $3,000 when purchased two years ago and today that same model is priced at around $2,000 . Making 3D printing available in the Education Library allows future teachers and others in education-related fields to become familiar with the technology so they can use it for lesson planning and other educational endeavors.  \nWe had numerous questions going into this project: where would we put it, how would students know it was available, how would we teach faculty, staff, as well as library employees to use it, how much time would it take away from our other responsibilities, what policies do we need to create? Most importantly, how would students in the College of Education make the best use of this new resource?  \n1 Rachael Elrod is currently the Head of the Education Library at the University of Florida in Gainesville, Florida. She received her BS degree in Psychology and Sociology from Campbellsville University, an M.Ed. in Counseling Psychology from the University of Louisville, an MS in Library Science from the University of Kentucky, a Graduate Certificate in Student Affairs from The Citadel, and is currently enrolled in the Ed.D. program in Higher Education Administration at the University of Florida. Her research interests include Open Educational Resources, researching students’ information choices in the online environment, and 3D printing.  \nEducation Libraries, 39:1 (2016)  \n© Education Division, Special Library Association  \nLiterature Review  \nWhile we did not locate any peer-reviewed articles specifically discussing 3D printing in  \na stand-alone Education Library, there are many articles that discuss 3D printing in academic libraries in general, in K-12 settings, and in public libraries. This literature review discusses 3D printing as it relates to academic libraries and the K-12 environment.  \nThe 2015 NMC Horizon Report K-12 includes a section on 3D printing which outlines the applicability of 3D printing to teaching and learning in K-12 education. NMC estimates that 3D printing will be standard in schools within the next two to three years. From a high school in Maine using 3D printing to create art pieces based on a graphic novel to a school in Taipei that uses 3D printing to teach students engineering skills, the use of 3D printing is growing in K-12 education. However, for 3D printing to continue to grow in this environment,“adequate training is needed to ensure teachers and students have the digital co","cbCaijyfJi6awoqv","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijyfJi6awoqv","pdf",548751,13,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n# Literature Review","[{\"question\":\"How was the 3D printing service implemented in the University of Florida Education Library?\",\"answer\":\"The project process involved building on groundwork from the Science Library and then making minor adjustments to get the initiative running in the Education Library.\"},{\"question\":\"What practical examples are included for using 3D printing in K-12?\",\"answer\":\"The paper includes lesson plan examples, demonstrations of how to create 3D models, guidance on finding existing models, and approaches for integrating 3D printing into the K-12 curriculum.\"},{\"question\":\"What challenges are discussed regarding expanding 3D printing for K-12 education?\",\"answer\":\"The discussion highlights the need for adequate training to ensure teachers and students have the digital competency to turn ideas into reality.\"}]","Tinkering with Teachers: The Case for 3D Printing in the Education Library | PDF",1792093504,33]
