Collaborative Clusters: Rethinking User Needs and Breaking Down Barriers

University of North Texas Libraries established an innovative centralized system designed to increase transparency, evidence-based decision-making, and user-centeredness.

How can libraries better design electronic collections to serve the needs of underserved users? It was presented at the Electronic Resources & Libraries conference held on March 8-11, 2021.

[Dataset Paper Mould Version 2]

3D dataset model of a hand papermaking mould consisting of three parts: a mould frame, a mould surface, and a deckle. In this version (v2), the mould frame and the mould surface are printed separately and can be fastened together with common sheet metal screws. The user will need to print all three files to have a complete papermaking mould. The resulting 3D printed model will replicate the historical artifact used in Great Britain and parts of Europe in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries with slight variations. This papermaking mould is functional and can be used to cast a 4 ¼ x 5 ½” sheet of paper. While the size of sheet this mould produces is small, the mould frame, its ribs, and the deckle are full size as found in larger traditional European papermaking moulds.

[Dataset: Paper Mould Version 3]

3D dataset model of a hand papermaking mould consisting of three parts: a mould frame, a mould surface, and a deckle. This version (v3) is the same as version 2 in that the mould frame and the mould surface are printed separately, but the holes in V3's mould frame are larger in diameter to accept a heat set threaded insert and machine screws are used in place of sheet metal screws. The user will need to print all three files to have a complete papermaking mould. The resulting 3D printed model will replicate the historical artifact used in Great Britain and parts of Europe in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries with sight variations. This papermaking mould is functional and can be used to cast a 4 ¼ x 5 ½” sheet of paper. While the size of sheet this mould produces is small, the mould frame, its ribs, and the deckle are full size as found in larger traditional European papermaking moulds.
