Furthermore, the paper aims to construct the knowledge space based on makers\u2019 knowledge demand.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Design\/methodology\/approach<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>The first step of this research is to explore the makers\u2019 knowledge demand by the methods of field investigation, non-interventional study and in-depth interviews. On that basis, the elements, principles, framework and mechanism of the knowledge space were discussed. The grounded theory and NVivo software were used in the data analysis.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Findings<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>The investigation shows that interest and competition are the main motivations for makers\u2019 knowledge demand. The findings also indicate that the characteristics are active knowledge needs, \u201cinformal learning\u201d preferences, divergent thinking, close community ties and interdisciplinary. According to the makers\u2019 knowledge demand node conceptual model, the content of makers\u2019 knowledge demand is principle knowledge, empirical knowledge and knowledge situation. Based on the above findings, the elements, principles, operation framework and inherent operation mechanism of the knowledge space construction are systemically described.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>This study gives precise details about makers\u2019 knowledge demand and the construction of makers\u2019 knowledge space by libraries. This is the first research that comprehensively explores the knowledge demand of makers. The findings can help the library plan and implement the construction of makerspace, and also improve the service for makers.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/lht-02-2019-0055","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,10,22]],"date-time":"2019-10-22T08:56:38Z","timestamp":1571734598000},"page":"699-712","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Research
