Syracuse University - Library Game Lab of Syracuse:*http://gamelab.syr.edu/*  The researchers at this lab (received its first grant in January, 2008) are working to secure funding to build a research laboratory at the Information Institute of Syracuse, where they can replicate the gaming programs currently put on in libraries and explore new program ideas. The researchers wish to explore the effectiveness of different types of gaming activities - not only video games, but also physical face-to-face games like board and card games - with different socioeconomic and age groups. In addition, the laboratory will be portable so that results can be tested in local libraries. The GLS website includes blog entries talking about the lab's research, events, and links to other related resources.
