Gaming webinar June 7

I noticed on the syllabus that one of our weekly topics later this summer will focus on games & libraries, so I thought some of you might be interested in an upcoming free webinar titled "Play, Learn, Innovate. An OCLC/Library Journal online symposium." Here is the description from the event's website (www.oclc.org/innovation).

"We're told that to be successful, we need to innovate, both for ourselves and on behalf of our organizations. But is there a fundamental disconnect between how we use imagination, planning and goal setting in our leisure time and how we get things accomplished at work?
New ways in which play overlaps with learning, media, social interaction, work and creativity provide clues about how "fun" may be the most efficient way to get something serious accomplished.
And fun may be the secret ingredient your innovation efforts are missing."

The webinar takes place on Tuesday, June 7, at 1 pm Eastern time. If interested, you can register at www.oclc.org/innovation.

First Blog Post

Greetings! This is my blog for the Summer 2011 course LSC597: Library 2.0 and Social Networking. I plan on using this space to post responses to assignments, my class learning journal, and any other relevant material I come across that I think may be of interest. Please let me know what you think, and thanks for visiting!
