Scott Nicholson, a WISE instructor at the iSchool at Syracuse, will be teaching an experimental course on Gaming in Libraries (IST 600) throughout the month of June. In addition to teaching this course for Information Science students at Syracuse, the course will be open to the public. The course is designed to connect students, public librarians, gamers, and professionals in the gaming industry to learn about incorporating games into libraries.

Watch the following video for Scott Nicholson’s own description of the course:

The course can be accessed through the Syracuse University YouTube channel, American Library Association Connect (a social networking site that will host the discussion activities), and Syracuse iSchool’s private course management system.
