Comic & Gaming Sessions @ ALA Annual
Heading to ALA Annual Conference next week? First of all:
Second: Don’t miss out on the gaming and comics sessions that will be happening next week! Sessions range from creating fandom programming to fun ways to gamify research topics. We’ll see you there.
Keywords to Mastery Game: An active learning approach to discover research topics
Saturday 1:00 PM - 2:30 PM - Location: McCormick Place, W176b
A fun and interactive hands-on workshop where you build and play your own low-tech game that helps students gain keyword and natural language processing skills for database searching. Choose a research topic, identify keywords on card decks, and recruit 2-6 players for a collaborative way to construct your research topic. Build your own game, play it, and see how it boosts keyword natural language processing skills within this 50 minute workshop.
Running a Library Presence @ Fan Conventions, Festivals, and Events Saturday 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM - Location: McCormick Place, W474b
Fan conventions, festivals, and events offer a unique environment for libraries to connect with their local communities and market library services and resources. Join library staff as they discuss the trials, tribulations, and joys of creating library presences at New York Comic Con, C2E2, San Diego Comic-Con, Emerald City Comicon, and the Toronto Comics Arts Festival, and give tips on how you can do it at your local convention. Learn about running panels for library staff and educators, offering readers' advisory and research help, promoting diverse material, showcasing items from special collections, and running a pop-up library lounge!
Fandom Programs for Tweens, Teens, and Adults
Sunday 1:00 PM - 2:30 PM - Location: McCormick Place, W187c
Give fans who are passionate about genres, characters, games, and book series plenty of reasons to return to your library again and again! You’ll walk away with inspiration and ideas that can be used with a variety of fandoms and interests at your own library!
Comics Roundtable: What does the future of comics librarianship look like?
Sunday 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM - Location: McCormick Place, W476
We're at a point where libraries have long-standing graphic novel collections and there are a number of specialized professional development days focused on comics in libraries happening throughout North America each year. But what conversations aren't we having about comics and libraries and what areas still exist for comics-librarian-exploration?
Telling Their Stories through Graphic Novels - Views from Behind the Fence
Monday 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM - Location: McCormick Place, W176b
A school librarian and school library professor will describe the 2016 Will Eisner Innovation Grant Award project that they facilitated at the Birchwood School at the South Carolina Department of Juvenile Justice. The grant project was a collaboration between the Birchwood School and the School of Library and Information Science at the University of South Carolina. Incarcerated students wrote and story-boarded the text for a graphic novel based on their gang experiences.
The GraphiCon schedule is here!
Are you attending ALA Annual Conference and looking for some geeky and comic sessions to attend? Fret no more – GraphiCon is here! GraphiCon is a roundup of all the geeky and comic programming happening at ALA Annual Conference. It is kicked off at the Graphic Novel Friday Forum and goes on until the end of conference.

Graphic-Con is only a week away!
I’m very excited to be returning. I’ll be at table A23 in Artist’s Alley this year. Can't wait!
More Graphiccon signs and my Pokemon bath bombs I made.
Thank you to Graphicon for featuring my work in your booklet. It’s a huge honour because I really did not expect this will be included.
