2008 ALA TechSource Gaming, Learning, and Libraries Symposium
We’ve opened the Call for Presenters for the 2008 ALA TechSource Gaming, Learning, and Libraries Symposium which will take place on November 2-4, 2008, in the Chicago area. We’re capping the event at 350 people, and last year we sold out at 300, so sign up early when we open registration on Monday, May 12.
We’ve already got an exciting program shaping up. Our keynote speakers include:
- Marc Prensky, author of Don’t Bother Me Mom, I’m Learning
- Dr. Lawrence Kutner, author of Grand Theft Childhood
- Andrew Bub, GamerDad
We’re also going to have another open gaming night for video and board games, some hands-on workshops (and not for playing videogames), and much more. If you want to be part of the program, the deadline for submitting a proposal is June 15, 2008, so don’t tarry too long. Thank yous to ACRL, ALSC, and LITA for collaborating with TechSource on this year’s Symposium.
More on GLLS2008 as it develops, because we’re going to a new level with it this year!
