Via RT@shannonmmiller (Shannon Miller of the Van Meter, IA Library), check out Order in the Library...an online game using the Dewey Decimal system.

There are three games you can play; the sorting game, the shelving game and the reordering game. There's even a Spanish version. Go to it!

The librarians at the University of Florida have prepared a zombie survival guide to teach students, faculty, and staff members how to access library resources remotely (say, from a zombie-defense bunker).

You might think that this is a clever gimmick to make bibliographic instruction enjoyable, but Gators know that this isn't the first time the campus has been under zombie alert, and an employee has even created a disaster preparedness guide (pdf) including an Infected Co-Worker Dispatch Form to explain why you've killed a zombie who was once an employee.

Braaaaaains!

Er, I mean... Go Gators!
