Imagineering Interest Group Meeting, ALA Annual 2014
There were 7 attendees.
The Chair, Breanne Kirsch gave a short introduction on the Imagineering IG, including about the new blog:
http://scifiandbeyond.org
.
We discussed topics for possible future programs at Annual and decided on the following topic: Technoculture: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Technology.
Future endeavors of the group were also discussed including a future webinar about apps that support science fiction and fantasy and evaluating what’s already out there. Thomas Allen and Cara Kinsey will do some research on this idea.
We also discussed possibilities for LITA’s 50
th
Anniversary in a couple of years and nearing the IIG’s 25
th
Anniversary. We discussed possibilities of covering favorite authors from the past with a retrospective look at how science fiction and fantasy have changes or looking at science fiction and fantasy for children and what is next with the genres. The topic of world-building was also discussed.
Thomas Allen agreed to become the Vice-Chair for next year and Breanne Kirsch will continue on as Chair.
Finally, the program for annual was discussed: Science Fiction and Fantasy: Redefining Humans from the Past to the Future, held on Saturday, June 28, 2014 from 4:30-5:30pm with Terry Goodkind, Douglas Preston, V. E. Schwab, Wen Spencer, and Jo Walton. There were at least 170 attendees and an author signing at the end of the program.
