I had a great time speaking to the North Georgia Associated Libraries group! The crowd was great and very responsive:
I got to speak on gaming and libraries, something that I had not spoken on before. Although we do gaming at MPOW as part of our marketing and outreach services, I had never delved into the topic. Once I got started, I learned a lot and started making some connections between different ideas. For example, I will occasionally play with social norms, doing such things as breaking the boundary between public and private space, speaking in non-gendered terms, etc. (you know, just for fun!). These and other ideas are explored in my presentation:
Some of the resources that I talked about that weren’t linked in the presentation include Jason Griffey’s work on ARGs, and various TED videos, including Susan Blackmore on temes and Kevin Kelly.
