Everyone should know the true source of that wonderful learning game.  I
just posted the following comment on Larry Ferlazzo's blog, but I want
everyone on LM-NET to know as well:

You should give credit to the source of the "Order in the Library" game.
This wonderful game was created by a computer science class at the
University of Texas in cooperation with the school librarians in the Austin,
TX Independent School District. It is wonderful that it has been so helpful
to so many schools. Thanks to Dr. Vicki L Almstrum and her students in the
Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering, Cockrell School of
Engineering at the University of Texas at Austin, for creating this game.

The URL for this game is:
http://users.ece.utexas.edu/~valmstrum/s2s/utopia/library4/src/library4.html

As you can see, this game is posted on Dr. Valmstrum's personal web page.
She kindly restored it for us when someone had decided to take it down from
the University's main web page.  Dr. Valmstrum was able to locate the
programming through the "way back web" and restore it, using her own web
page.  

So when useful web pages and other resources disappear from the Web, we as
librarians need to be persistent in trying to get the resources restored.

order.

This would be great for library assistants to do before you let them shelve!
