Game FinderMarch 29, 2009
Now, in conjunction with Pat Matthews of Live Oak Games, Mary has introduced a Game Finder on her Games for Educators website. Mary tells me that “by using the game finder, educators, librarians, homeschoolers and parents can now search for a particular game by educational value (Mary says that almost every game is educational), curriculum standards, age, subject, and more.” Game manufacturers are invited to visit the site and add their games to the data base.
In today’s world, most kids hear the words game and think of their Wii. We need to make sure that this rising generation fully appreciates board games for their ability to create play without a plug or batteries. Everybody in the board game industry should therefore not only be grateful to Mary and Pat but contribute their game information to Game Finder. The more games in the data base the more valuable the site.
Great job Mary and Pat.

In response to: Game Finder Dale Lipschultz commented: I'm really delighted that Game Finder was deliberately designed with libraries and librarians in mind. Plus, the timing is perfect. On March 2, 2009 ALA launched The Librarian's Guide to Gaming: An online toolkit for building gaming @ your library. These librarian build and tested tools and resources are for libraries of kinds with gaming programs of all kinds. In the next few weeks, we will add Game Finder to the toolkit. Our goal is help libraries build, expand, and improve their recreational and educational gaming programs. What better tool than Game Finder?
