A Quick Guide to Gaming in Libraries Gaming in libraries is a very hot topic this year. We are seeing gaming presentations at library conferences such as ALA Annual and Computers in Libraries, as well as entire symposiums dedicated to the theme, articles are appearing in major papers such as the Chicago Tribune, and libraries are starting to report on their successes. Here’s a quick guide to some of the resources available related to the gaming in libraries meme.

Etherpad Koha-Kobli | Sistema integrado de gestión bibliotecaria de fuentes abiertas Apartment Therapy The Kitchen | Design Friday: The Kitchen SyncI Laptop, meet the cookbook. We saw the Kitchen Sync design concept several weeks ago, and we were surprised and happy to meet its designer, Noah Balmer, at the Housewares Show. Balmer received an International Housewares Association design award for the Kitchen Sync, which we hope goes into production soon. The concept for the Kitchen Sync is quite simple, and brilliant. As much as we love our tattered and spattered well-used cookbooks, we are turning more and more to the web for good recipes. But how to bring them into the kitchen? Balmer's concept invents a whole new kitchen appliance - a small, flexible, washable screen with a dock. It's wireless and very kitchen-friendly - our pick for the cookbook of the future! This is still a concept, but as it won a prestigious design award already and Balmer is interning for Karim Rashid this spring, we hope that some affordable version of this goes into production soon.
