Another (better) gaming in libraries blog

I found (through Blog Search Beta ) that I am re-inventing the wheel. ALA has an official spot. This blog will probably be a collection of links, since I can add no information about gaming. I am not a gamer. I am a student, a thinker, and a researcher, so maybe you, too, can find something of value in my collection.

Game On: Games in Libraries
Game On: Games in Libraries was created in 2005 as a supplement to the Google LibGaming listserv, a forum for discussion of gaming in libraries. Please visit http://gaming.ala.org for news about gaming in libraries.


The Gaming Zone
The Gaming Zone is sponsored by the Public Library of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County. They bring exciting gaming events to residents all across Mecklenburg County using a variety of consoles, video games, board games and state-of-the-art technology, but also are on the cutting edge of gaming and libraries. They were recently named in a huge grant from Verizon to study the effects of gaming on literacy skills. We all can't wait!

Good start on your blog. Even if you do end up with a list of gaming or innovative gaming programming resources, somebody has to do it :-)
