OCLC Resource Sharing Conference 2018

For nearly 15 years, the Walter Schroeder Library and the Center for Biomolecular Modeling (CBM) at the Milwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE) have collaborated to maintain the MSOE Model Lending Library, a unique collection of physical models of proteins and molecular structures, created by the CBM using 3D Printing Technology. These models are available for short-term loans to educators nationwide for use in K-12 and college classrooms to help students understand complex science concepts. Learn how the Walter Schroeder Library leverages library practices and procedures to manage the collection and how this strategic partnership enables both departments the opportunity to contribute to MSOE's scientific and technical educational outreach efforts.
