About the Book

The high-profile topic of gaming in libraries gets thorough consideration from two educator-librarians, who explain exactly how designer board games--which are worlds apart from games produced strictly for the educational market--can become curricular staples for students of all ages. Drawing on their experience as game aficionados and developers of a nationally recognized program that brings games to school library media centers, the authors equip colleagues with everything they need to initiate a board game project with * Direct links between board games and curriculum * Suggestions for building a core collection across grade levels * Strategies for program development and implementation From promoting the idea to teachers and administrators to aligning specific games to state and national education standards, this book will help you build a strong collection that speaks to enhanced learning and social development and is just plain fun.

About the Author :
Brian Mayer is a library technology specialist for Genesee Valley BOCES, an educational services agency that supports the libraries of twenty-two small, rural districts in western New York, as well as an independent library consultant on gaming in libraries. His focus is on modern board games and putting authentic games into educational settings to engage students with the curriculum. He has been instrumental in the growth of designer games as educational resources and has written several documents aligning games with national and state standards. He is the author of many articles on gaming in libraries and writes on the subject in his blog Library Gamer. Mayer earned his elementary teaching certification at Buffalo State and his MLS at the University of Buffalo. Christopher Harris, author of the blog Infomancy, is the coordinator of the school library system for Genesee Valley BOCES. In addition to his writing on Infomancy, he is a regular technology columnist for School Library Journal, talking about "The Next Big Thing." Along with Andy Austin, Harris wrote an ALA TechSource Library Technology Reports issue on using the open source Drupal content management framework in libraries, which was published in 2008. He was a participant in the first ALA Emerging Leaders program in 2007 and was honored as a Library Journal Mover and Shaker in 2008. An avid gamer, Harris was a member of the ALA/Verizon Foundation Gaming and Literacies grant national panel of experts.

Review :
A wonderful resource for both school librarians and classroom teachers ... Whether looking to incorporate fun and intellectually engaging activities that will enhance instruction and student learning, or developing a game library or collection, this book will serve as a valuable guide.
