A shared passion for video games makes the long lines bearable and we bond over ques- tions like “what DS game is that?” or “Did you play this?” PAX is like a sand box game, there is no one right way to enjoy it. You can bring your rig and enjoy a massive LAN party, or hit up the free play area. Be a rock god up on stage with Rock Band. Or maybe your just taking a nap on a Sumo Bag. We the loyal fans can catch trailers and demos scattered around the exhibit halls in search of the one game we must play, only to discover ten more that enthrall us.

This thesis examines how the creators of free content, specifically webcomics, are able to monetise their work and find financial success through crowdfunding and what factors, social and psychological, support this process. Consistent with crowdfunding being both a large-scale social process yet based on the interactions of individuals (albeit en mass), this topic was explored at both micro- and macro-level combining methods from individual interviews through to mass scraping of data and large-scale questionnaires.

    WINTER 2006-2007 A User-Centered Library ibraries have always claimed to be user-centered. Haven’t they always provided information and services for users? Things have changed, though: information has been proliferating, along with formats for Lcontaining it, technologies for accessing it, and expectations for obtaining it (immediately!). Now, to meet changing user needs, libraries must be proactive in finding out what those needs are and adapting their resources and services accordingly. Suzanne Thorin, dean of libraries, says, “Our users are the reason we exist. Their needs must guide everything we do.” In 1888 Syracuse University Library acquired the extensive teaching and Syracuse University Library recently started three particularly user- research library of the great historian centered initiatives: Librarians in the Research and Educational Services Leopold von Ranke.

During the fall 2006 semester, many students added Syracuse University Library to their instant messaging “friends” list. That’s because, on August 21, 2006, the Library invited students to “chat live with a librarian using an instant messaging service and get reference and research help in real time.” Since early September, SU librarians have received an average of 40 reference queries a week via IM from students.
