Sarah mc nicol survey of gaming in uk libraries
0 likes609 views
A 2010 survey of 117 UK libraries found that 63% were public libraries, 27% were school libraries, and some were university, college, joint, or special libraries. The survey asked about library policies regarding gaming, resources for loan, and gaming activities. Many libraries hosted gaming clubs like Warhammer, Wii, and board games. Libraries saw benefits of gaming as attracting new and young users and developing skills, but also challenges like noise, complaints, lack of space, and monitoring.

This document provides an overview of gamification in libraries through several presentations and discussions. It begins with definitions of gamification and examples of how it has been used both inside and outside of libraries. Several librarians then discuss specific applications of gamification, including using badges and leaderboards to encourage summer reading, setting standards for game-based learning in instruction, and gamifying professional development. The document also shares results from a study on library usage and student outcomes, and discusses tools for library gamification including a library gaming website and social networks. It concludes by providing contact and resource information for a library gaming interest group.What You Need To Know Before Gamifying Your Library

This document discusses strategies for improving students' research skills. It notes that many students rely heavily on Google and lack skills for evaluating sources. The author's institution found students were overwhelmed by full texts, lacked navigation strategies, and were unwilling to ask for help. To address this, they provided training to students and teachers. This included study skills sessions, screencasts, and gamifying lessons. They designed a research-led study skills program to help students better understand concepts like keywords, databases vs search engines, and plagiarism. The goal is to start these skills earlier and provide consistent support to help students succeed at university-level work.Comics in schools, slg 2014 (1)

This document discusses the use of comics and graphic novels in schools. It begins by outlining past barriers to using comics in schools, such as perceptions that they are low-quality or inappropriate. The document then provides examples of comics for different age groups, from pre-school to secondary/sixth form, along with suggested classroom activities. It discusses the growing acceptance of comics and notes new formats like digital comics. The document concludes by listing additional resources for using comics in education.Do not collect £200

This document provides suggestions for gaming on a budget or with no budget, organized by game type. It recommends affordable board games like Carcassonne and free print-and-play options. For roleplaying games, it suggests the Dungeons & Dragons Starter Set or free rules from blogs. Low-cost tabletop wargames and starter sets for Games Workshop are also listed, along with free miniatures and rules. Affordable options are given for collectible card, massively multiplayer, and console games, along with sources for donations, used items, and free-to-play web games. Contact information is included for gaming communities and representatives.Facilitating independent learning through ict

The document discusses how information and communication technologies (ICT) can facilitate independent learning. It describes several online tools and resources such as iTunes U, YouTube Edu, Khan Academy, and social media that educators can use to provide educational content to students. Interactive tools are also presented, including Google Docs for collaboration, interactive maps, and gamified learning apps. The document advocates using these ICT tools to help students take control of their own learning.The Games Libraries Play (And How They

The document discusses how libraries and schools are using electronic games and gaming to engage students and enhance learning. It provides examples of libraries hosting gaming clubs and schools integrating games into subjects like science, physical education, and literacy. The document advocates that games can help students learn by doing rather than just learning about topics, and can motivate students to engage with curricula when presented in a language they understand.Sam Sbisa - Tabletop games collection

Randwick City Library has developed a tabletop game collection to attract new patrons and engage "non-users", beginning over 35 years ago with a toy and game lending library. They have found that gaming events are very popular, especially among youth. After an initial young adult in-house game collection proved too limited, the library launched a borrowing collection of tabletop games. Based on social media metrics and searches in the library catalog, the new collection was very successful in generating interest from both new and existing patrons. The document provides details on the types of games included and borrowing policies, and recommends resources for librarians interested in starting their own gaming collections and programs.Learning through play

Games and crowdsourcing can be used for adult education in libraries in several ways:
1) Games like Foldit and EteRNA allow players to contribute to scientific research while playing, offering opportunities for library programming.
2) The Ann Arbor District Library runs a successful summer game that encourages community engagement and exploration of library collections and services.
3) Crowdsourcing projects involving tasks like correcting texts or transcribing ship logs harness people's interest while providing data for research.NCLA Presentation On Gaming

1) Gaming in libraries is important for developing skills like following rules, strategic thinking, and collaboration that are useful for life.
2) Libraries can start gaming programs with little money by using donated games, partnering with local game shops, and having patrons bring their own games.
3) Making games is another low-cost option, and libraries can teach game design using free software. Partnerships within the community can also help gaming programs.Gaming in Libraries Webinar for NEFLIN

The document discusses gaming in libraries and its benefits. It can bring people in the community together across differences. Libraries are hosting regular gaming events and tournaments for both teens and the public. Getting started is easier by hosting inexpensive games like chess or a PS2/Wii. Planning events involves talking to patrons, creating partnerships, and assessing equipment needs while being prepared to address any concerns.Getting on board with REF requirements: games for early career researchers

A growing number of card and board games have been developed to enable early career researchers (ECRs) to engage with key concepts or elements of the research lifecycle. These games vary in complexity, the time needed to play them, and the required preparation time. However, most are free or low-cost and thus valuable for academic libraries seeking to engage with early career researchers, either to introduce or reinforce understanding of a topic, often as part of a training session.
This workshop will introduce delegates to a range of physical games related to research and publishing, review these in relation to the Vitae Researcher Development Framework (RDF), and consider the potential of these games (and others yet to be devised) in supporting researchers in their own library setting.

This document discusses using games to help early career researchers meet the requirements of the Vitae Researcher Development Framework (RDF). It provides an overview of research games and gamification, and how specific games map to the domains within the RDF. The document suggests identifying which RDF domains lack associated games or activities, and whether new games could be developed to fill these gaps. Feedback from group work using these games is also discussed.How to use Init Hooks in Odoo 18 - Odoo ºÝºÝߣs

The intersection of AI and pharmaceutical formulation science highlights significant blind spots—systemic gaps in pharmaceutical development, regulatory oversight, quality assurance, and the ethical use of AI—that could jeopardize patient safety and undermine public trust. To move forward effectively, we must address these normalized blind spots, which may arise from outdated assumptions, errors, gaps in previous knowledge, and biases in language or regulatory inertia. This is essential to ensure that AI and formulation science are developed as tools for patient-centered and ethical healthcare.The Dravidian Languages: Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Brahui, Kuvi, Tulu
