The central tasks of a library, building, structuring and passing on knowledge, following the motto "Leading Knowledge" are lived at SLUB Makerspace, as well, and are extended further by making hands-on experience with machines and manufacturing processes and techniques possible. Because "Knowledge comes from...making!". The connection of the library and of novel technology offers interesting chances for new cooperations and activities. Knowledge transfer and exchange are at the centre of the creative work at SLUB Makerspace. Users learn from other users and share their know-how.
