What: Gaming (& Gadgets!) Night
Where: CIL 2008, Jefferson Room
When: Sunday, April 6th, 5:30-8:00 pm
How much: FREE
Who: You and other people interested in gaming
Jenny Levine and I have given a few gaming workshops at past Computers in Libraries and Internet Librarian conferences. After the sessions we’ve opened up the room to anyone interested in playing some games and/or learning about gaming. It’s proven to be a popular and really fun time, so this year Information Today has turned the post-workshop gameplay into a featured event. With refreshments even!
We’ve assembled an impressive array of games!
Systems: Nintendo Wii, Playstation 2, and Xbox 360. We’ll also have two Nintendo DS handhelds.
Games: Wii Sports, DDR, Hotel Dusk, Guitar Hero III, Professor Layton and the Curious Village, Wario Smooth Moves, whatever you bring, and Rock Band.
Since we’ll have three systems going at once, we’re opening up the option of an honest to goodness tournament with prizes. You probably want to know which game, huh? Well, it’s up to you. Sign up in the comments here or at a page we’ve created on the CIL08 wiki titled CIL08 Gaming Night to play Rock Band, Guitar Hero, or DDR. We’ll play whichever game gets the most signups!
In addition, Chris Harris is bringing some modern board games. Bring your own games, bring your latest shiny, new gadgets, and we’ll see you Sunday night!

Drummer for hire! Needs band! What I lack in rhythm, I make up for in enthusiasm ;) Currently playing most songs on Medium level.
er, that would be, Rock BanD! with a D…
Brian Mayer of Library Gamer will lead the board games. Check out his blog for previews of many games we will bring.
Despite my love of guitar hero, I must confess a case of DDR-fever.
I just wanted to give a heads up for the boardgames we are bringing for Sunday:
Shadows over Camelot
Settlers of Catan
Puerto Rico
Lord of the Rings
Coloretto
Citadels
Thebes
Can I bring my husband even though he’s not attending the conference?
@ellen
Go for it! See you there!
1st choice: Guitar Hero
2nd: Rock Band (Guitar/medium or drums/easy)
Can’t wait! Looking forward to some Guitar Hero, and I love Settlers, see you all then.
Which version of DDR?
Haven’t had a chance to play Rock Band yet…so it’s time to rock out! I’ll need Chris to show me the ropes on some of those board games too, they look sweet.

Hello……
I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don’t know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.
It has given a gaming internet libraries in the computer. It will be a big time pass for the people who really get bored during the day. The games are really full of fun.
