How can libraries provide access to digital games for users today and future generations?
To help answer that very question, the Digital Games in Libraries (DGIL) project at the University of North Carolina Greensboro invites you to participate in the National Virtual Forum for Digital Games in Libraries!
The schedule for the forum is now live! We have an exciting slate of presentations that will cover everything from copyright law to fan-driven community archives.
Find out more about the forum presentations and workshop sessions here.
The forum is a free online conference open to librarians, game developers, educators, games scholars, and anyone interested in the future of video games in libraries. No prior experience with game collections is required! Just an interest in the future of libraries and digital preservation.
This is a free virtual event to be held on October 29-30. Sign up for the DGIL Forum here.
DGIL is developing strategies to ensure that digital-only video games can be accessed by library users today and remain accessible for future generations, focusing especially on games from independent creators that represent some of the most important media being created right now.
By participating in the DGIL Forum on October 29-30, you'll have the opportunity to:
  • Connect with librarians and game professionals exploring digital game collections and preservation.
  • Learn about current challenges and emerging best practices for digital game access in libraries.
  • Share your experiences, questions, and ideas with a growing community of practice.
  • Help shape the future of how libraries support, preserve, and provide access to digital games.
Check out our website to learn more about the DGIL project, and if you would like to stay updated on our project, subscribe to our newsletter here. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you would like to learn more or connect with our team.
