BiblioBouts - new Information Literacy game

A multi-university group, led by researchers at the School of Information at the University of Michigan and the Center for History and New Media at George Mason University, have released a new game for teaching information literacy skills that can be integrated into or supplement existing information literacy instruction programs. Funded by a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Studies, the project's homepage provides multiple status reports covering the development and evaluation of this 3-year project.

The gam itself can be found at http://www.bibliobouts.org/ with username "demo@bibliobouts.org" and password "demo". There are also example videos of gameplay available at the bottom of the Instructor FAQ.
