Gamers Conquered the Mainstream... What's Next?Philip Minchin
Games. Everyone loves them - and pretty much everyone plays them, whether it's cutting-edge electronic games, or traditional games like chess and bridge, or anything in between. And when you look at our history, starting with the very first work of written history in the Western canon, it's clear we always have.
With strong evidence linking play to learning, intelligence, creativity, community connectedness, physical AND mental health, problem-solving, systems literacy, psychological literacy, optimism, and a host of other benefits, this is a good thing!
But given that play is so profoundly linked to and good for humanity, where is the public institutional support for it?
This presentation attempts to (very briefly!) outline the case for games and play, describe how we could be covering and supporting them a whole lot better, and then plot a course for how to get there from here. First presented at PAX Aus, it's now being shared online.

The Golden Gamers: A 65+ Library Gaming GroupJohn Pappas
"The Golden Gamers" Equitable and Inclusive Gaming Events for the Elderly presented by John Pappas
Tabletop board gaming is a creative, multi-generational, social and fun activity. While there is a broad swatch of recreational activities for the 65+ crowd, generally gaming is left out. Conversations with the Senior Activities Board of the Upper Darby Libraries confirmed this with traditional video games providing an engaging experience but accessibility tends to be a challenge due to physical determinants (carpal tunnel, poor eyesight, arthritis) and experiential (with a large learning curve required for many video games). Tabletop board games provide an experience that is interactive, social, cognitive and engaging. With concerns over Alzheimer's and social isolation, this is an important subject for many seniors. The Primos Library instituted a series of programs "Tabletop Gaming at the Library" (intergenerational, weekly), The Game Designer's Guild (monthly, intergenerational) and the "Golden Gamers" (65+, Monthly-Weekly dependant upon interest) each providing a gaming experience for burgeoning and experienced gamers of any age.
In this talk, Pappas will discuss the initial planning, marketing, collection development and community engagement elements of the series as well as successes and challenges. A large portion of the talk will be on game selection for this age group including issues such as the level of social interaction inherent in the game, types of games, levels of complexity and iconography.
Playing catch-up: games and play in the wider culture and in the libraryPhilip Minchin
Play and games are set to be the media of the 21st Century in the same way audiovisual media were of the 20th. But libraries have largely ignored the tremendous importance (and potential) of these new media, making little to no effort to include them in collections except as they do so easily, and even ignoring games that come in book form. There has been little effort to curate games and play, cultivate deeper and broader critical appreciation in the public, or even apply accurate taxonomies. (And if you know librarians, that really says something about the size of the blind spot!)
This presentation, delivered at the Australian Library & Information Association's 7th New Librarians' Symposium (ALIA's NLS7), outlines the foundational reasons why games and play actually matter a lot more than our culture likes to think, and especially to libraries; it also offers some pointers for making this case to existing library institutions, and how to negotiate a system that is almost completely blind to the value of play.
Interactive Fiction and Game Design Using Inform7Douglas Kiang
Designing a good game involves sketching and storyboarding, storytelling and testing. Inform7 is a free tool that allows kids to create text-based adventure games using a programming language that is easy to learn and understand. Discover how we used Inform7 with fourth graders and high schoolers, implementing a game design framework modeled after the real world, to engage them in a rich design process that promoted deep learning and understanding.
A presentation introducing students to the concept of Games and their importance in modern life. Non-technical, and suitable for use in a 'soft skills' module.
This is the presentation that was delivered at the 2010 Game Developers Conference in San Francisco that outlined "The Art of Video Games" exhibition that we were developing. Note, this presentation only contains my portion of this joint presentation.
