Here’s an even sillier question–and one that you don’t need the book to answer, just resources already available or this series of promotional posts (yes, I’m writing them ahead of time; no, I don’t plan to be doing real blogging on Thursday).
In what respect is an alphabetic list of liblogs wildly different than typical alphabetic lists?
I believe The Li...... [Show More]
It is a rainy, chilly dark day here in Shanghai. My family is snuggled in to a quiet routine of artwork (my 5 year old), wikispace creation(my wife), toy chewing (dog) and napping (1 year old). I just finished my lunch of left over pizza and left over indian food and am now contemplating the week ahead of me and the indigestion that will certainly kick in on me in...... [Show More]
My smooth, easy, cheap ($99 round trip) and enjoyable 977 mile flight from ACY to FLL (via Spirit Airlines) was followed by a comfortable night at the palatial (by my standards at least) Crowne Plaza ($109, Hotels.com). I’d already missed half of the conference, but that didn’t matter, since taking Friday off was never an option for me. I was thrilled I ...... [Show More]

Conferences. They MUST change the way they think about attendees’ needs. Two conferences in a row, both locations offer free wifi for anyone who brings in a laptop, but there is no plan for how those said folks will “power up.” Okay so I’m wise to this. As I pack my things for the conferences, I tuck in my bag a powerstrip. It came in handy at both conferences, as usu...... [Show More]
Angie Dickson, our new librarian, is an fan of the PE blog Phil Rowland set up for this academic year and wants to set up her own. Not only can she use this blog to communicate with students at our school, but with librarians and heads of information services worldwide!
Here’s some examples of some great (newbi e-friendly ) blogs in the field:

Just a quick note that the preliminary program for the 2008 ALA TechSource Gaming, Learning, and Libraries Symposium is now available online. I’m excited about the program, because I think we’ve got some great tracks and sessions that will be valuable for anyone trying to implement gaming in their library or looking for ways to expand or enhance an existing program. Like last year, w...... [Show More]
Back in February, I was excited that Brian Mayer had tied the New York state curriculum standards to board games and that the School Library System of Genesee Valley BOCES had invested in a board game collection for use by its member libraries . Since then, however, Brian , Chris Harris , and their colleagues have stepped it up a notch and made the link between gaming and education more app...... [Show More]
Chris Harris & Scott Nicholson have me really excited. If you’re not familiar with their research I highly suggest you check it out. It’s funny that these two guys have finally crossed paths. Scott was my professor (one of the best) at the iSchool at Syracuse in the early 2000’s and Chris heads up the neighboring School Library Systems at GV BOCES.
Chris and Scott ar...... [Show More]
Just a quick note that I’ll be giving a presentation in Second Life tomorrow (Friday, April 18) at 11:00 a.m. CDT on ALA Island to celebrate gaming @ your library day . It’s free, it’s in-world, it’ll be a fun time. Then afterwards, I get to play games at work, as ALA staff celebrate gaming by taking a break to play board, video, and social games.
To celebrate ...... [Show More]

A few days ago, I shared a handout from a booktalk I did about books connected to gaming . I got some interesting feedback from the class. The one note that really sparked my interest shows an opportunity for additional discussion in library classes about this topic that seems to be getting so much focus right now. This was in reference to my including sports manga and The View From Saturday :

It is strange that here in Egypt we regard the American education system as way more modern than the Egyptian one, though you can find on the web articles about the American system describing it as:
the American education system is in sore need of an upgrade. The world is changing at such a rapid pace and it’s my strong opinion that there should be more classes dedicated to helping students...... [Show More]
