The library has a Patent and Trademark Resource Center, which provides support to faculty and
students in entrepreneurship and design classes, and also provides support to the Technology
Development Center. We collaborated on jointly purchasing 3D printers for use in an entrepreneurship
class and these printers reside in the library’s Creative Studios where they are open to the entire
campus. We also provided instruction and student support during the duration of the class. The
staff who oversee the studios are also responsible for the printer maintenance, training, and overall
coordination of use by the campus community. In addition, we collaborate on events such as career fairs
and Startup Weekend where students work intensively to design and market an original product with
the assistance of local business owners and resources.

reference support to anyone in the greater UCI community with a business-related research question.

activities all with varying degrees of involvement. The most active have been the business librarians,
