Video games in the library?

The Nokia Games Summit of Nov. 2008 didn't look or sound like a library conference. You can check out this video report from YouTube and see the differences, but don't dismiss it as irrelevant to librarians and teachers today. Things are quiet in book publishing, with gloomy news and predictions, but video games are booming. Even though schools and libraries are still struggling to provide desktop computers for children, the young people themselves are moving into smaller, more mobile means of getting entertainment and information. When children bring their cell phones to the library and play games, search for information, or even read books, what is the role of the librarian? We know that children, teens, and most adults need guidance in searching effectively for information, but how to we convince the public of this? One of the most important things we have to do is be aware of what's going on in other parts of the media world. We are part of a huge enterprise, so burying ourselves in our book-lined libraries is not an option if we want to survive.
