Maker Spaces #FlattentheCurve

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Hospital workers also requested foam padding for the shields to protect skin where the parts touch the head. Some Places To Begin Gary Price of LJ's infoDOCKET writes about librarians using 3-D printers to create personal protective equipment, including a University of Oklahoma librarian and librarians from Columbia University, NY, who created a proto-type and an easy-to-use guide on how to 3-D print a face shield apparatus. Gavin Woltjer, Director of Billings Public Library and Interim Chief Information Officer of Billings, MT, is also mass-manufacturing the face shields, and started a statewide model of contribution.
