Abstract
The NIST Research Library of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) within the U.S. Department of Commerce is currently undergoing changes that will transform the Library in major ways. One of these changes is the conversion of an "emerging tech bar" that offered hands-on experimentation with new technologies to one that offers collaboration spaces and showcases NIST's "glimmer" technologies. This new space, along with the Library's other collaboration spaces, will facilitate interdisciplinary dialogue across the campus, bringing together NIST scientists from the wide-ranging STEM fields of physics, chemistry, biology, information technology, and engineering. The Library's transformed spaces are a part of its major transition from a facility of physical volumes to an almost bookless library of digital collections and collaborative spaces.Conference Dates
