Introduction

My name is Mariea Daniell and I am a student with the SJSU SLIS program. I currently have a masters in History (with a Middle Ages emphasis) and I hope to use this with my studies to work at a variety of places. I am currently the "pseudo-chair" of SJSU's ASIS&T chapter. If anyone would like to run for the three positions we have open (Chair, Treasurer, and Assembly Representative), please feel free to contact me to find out how to enter our election!

In addition to History and libraries, I also love gaming (my favorite console is the Xbox 360 - don't judge - but I love all types), board games, baking, scrapbooking, and bacon. Lots and lots of it. It's really neat to see something go from a raw material, into something beautiful. I try to create something everyday!

Another reason why I love gaming is because I feel as though it is finally becoming a valuable and respected teaching tool. Gaming communities are able to learn about various areas of History and of life itself, if mixed with the right combination of fun and engaging information. The potential of  games allowing people to learn and play at the same time is enormous!

Stay tuned for more blog posts about libraries, History, and all things fun!
