So much happened yesterday! Promise to get you up to speed--but I also have to dash to an 11:30 meeting soon.
My day yesterday was the OCLC exhibit booth. We hung the ring header (yes, the riggers finally came) and got everything put in place. Had a madcap dash to buy a few essentials--trash cans can be precious commodities sometimes--and voila the booth was ready, right on time.
Good thing, because while I was setting up over in the exhibit hall, the Symposium was going like gangbusters. Alane said she looked out over the crowd and realized it was the youngest audience we'd ever had--and people stayed to hear about Gaming and the significance for information literacy and learning.
John Beck, author of Got Game? was a panelist, as well as Kurt Squire, Constance Steinkuehler, Marilyn Mason, Migell Acosta and our own blogger-bud, George Needham. I hear it was a fantastic time and that we'll have it available on the OCLC Web site as a streaming video. Alane even mentioned something about editing out the umms and ahhhs. I can't wait to watch it. If the discussions we had a dinner later were any indication of the enthusiasm of the Symposium, it's going to be a great show, indeed.
The gamers then celebrated the successful Symposium, book signing and opening reception with a smashing dinner together. They invited me because of course, they wanted their celebrity presence blogged.
Now for photos!
