[LM_NET] Gaming Census

[Blythe Allison Bennett <babennet@SYR.EDU>]

Announcing the 2007 Gaming Census!

This is an annual survey done by Dr. Scott Nicholson, associate
professor at Syracuse University's School of Information Studies, and is
designed to collect information about gaming programs run in libraries
in 2007.  This can be any type of game (board, card, video, chess,
puzzle) at any type of library (public, school, academic, or special).
The focus is on gaming programs, where the libraries schedule an event
of some type featuring games, and on gaming programs that were run
sometime during the 2007 calendar year.

You can take this survey at 
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=64bf17n2mW5s4QdKL6ctxg_3d_3d
until the end of July.


Data from last year's census has been valuable in helping us to
understand how libraries are using gaming and to get funding for other
gaming programs.  Adding data about your institution to our census will
help us better understand how libraries are using data.  You can see the
publications that have used this data at
http://gamelab.syr.edu/publications/ .   The results from this survey
will be presented at the 2008 Gaming, Learning, and Libraries Symposium.
