The Beulah Williams is currently working on creating a space for future teachers to have access to new and emerging technologies that are or possibility will be in the classroom once they become professional teachers. The presentation includes a review of literature to show the trends currently in place in academic libraries for technology sandboxes/ makerspaces and will discuss why these spaces are successful in academic libraries. The presenters discuss steps taken by the Library Director and the Electronic Resources Manager to obtain the necessary equipment, and how they gained the support needed from the university community. The presentation concludes with plans for the future of the technology space at both the university level and within the Aberdeen, South Dakota Community as an outreach endeavor.
