The Payoff, Up Close and Personal

From TechSource Gaming Symposium

Jump to: navigation, search

Presenter: Eli Neiburger (Ann Arbor District Library)

Description: It's easy to talk about the benefits of gaming events at libraries in the abstract, but in order to really understand just how much these events mean to the gamer in your community (and how much tournaments change the way gamers think about the library), you've got to hear seasoned veterans explain it in the own words. This presentation will examine in detail the social impact that Ann Arbor District Library's gaming events have made on the players, staff, and the library as a whole, including excerpts from video interviews with some of AADL's most hardcore players. Find out what community-building elements work -- and don't work -- and see up close the benefits that gaming has brought to AADL.

  • Administrators and others who hold the purse strings and approve policies

at:
