Videogames and Libraries
It doesn't sound as if Jenny Levine is going to be at E3, but she should as she continues to proselytize videogames and videogame playing in libraries (Grant Us Some Gaming):
Our plan is to submit a grant to put together a gaming package, much like the one Erin Helmrich and Eli Neiburger are going to show off at our May 26 Tech Summit (just 3 seats left!), except that ours will be a traveling road show. We want to get a number of MLS libraries to commit to the idea of gaming tournaments using the traveling road show. MLS will coordinate scheduling the equipment and can house it when not in use, but participating libraries would hold their own tournaments in their own buildings for their own patrons. The winner from each library would then go on to a championship tournament with bigger prizes at stake. The whole thing would be ongoing, with the championship possibly being an annual event. Imagine being crowned master chief of Chicagos south and west suburbs! (Not that well be using Halo as one of the games, but you get the idea
.)
I actually think this is a pretty good idea. Libraries are about spreading ideas, not simply books. They've brought in music, movies ... why not videogames?
