Leanne Nay works at the intersection of academic libraries and the "maker movement" (hands-on creation using tools like 3D printers, cameras, audio recorders, and craft equipment). Their work focuses on how campus libraries can build makerspaces, lend equipment, and collaborate with faculty and other campus partners to support creative and research activities. Much of the output consists of practical resource guides and articles on library engagement with hands-on learning.
