I chose to highlight my ideas for a Library of Things because I feel this was one of my most entertaining assignments. Before my LIBS 658 course, I had heard of a Library of Things but did not know how endless the possibilities were. This assignment gave me a chance to research other library systems to see what they offer while also looking at the types of items that would be beneficial for my current library system. Below is a video walkthrough as well as a link to my original paper about a Library of Things for Slover Library.
