How can we develop, sustain, and assess learning cultures that embrace change? Blending librarian and technician insights, this session explores this question using the example of the TRU Library Makerspace, a vibrant experiential learning space that facilitates self/directed learning with generative technologies and design methodologies. We explore what we have learned about created a culture that enables change; how we collaborate as a team of librarians and library technicians to sustain that culture; and how we are using naturalistic assessment to drive future growth and change. We explore these questions using concrete examples of design, policy, curriculum, communications, and assessment.
