- School libraries and makerspaces: a metric researchPublication . Jesus, Deise L.; Novo, AnaThis paper is focused on the use of makerspaces in school libraries. The main objective was to identify, through a bibliometric analysis, the approach given in the scientific literature to the makerspace in school libraries. Using “Publish or Perish” software, 979 articles in English language and 108 articles in Portuguese and Spanish language were retrieved. The results obtained show that the Bradford’s Law is confirmed over this subject, the results are consistent with Lotka's Law but they couldn’t be confirmed with exactness. The theme presented an H index of 31; G index of 58. In the altmetric analysis the social media most used was Twitter followed by Facebook. The country with most mentions was the USA followed by the UK and Australia. In Portuguese and Spanish the results are much lower than in English, both in bibliometric and altmetric analysis.
