I have a lot going on at work right now, which is one reason I haven’t been posting much to my blog. I’m going to talk a little more about MPOW here, as some of my projects are kicking into gear and will have some visible results during the next few months. The gaming piece is getting really interesting, and I hope to have some big news to report soon.
In the meantime, though, 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!
