I posted this message to a couple of other listservs, but thought that media librarians might have some thoughts on this topic, too. It's not exactly videos and DVDs, though, so please don't kick me off the list if it really is too far afield! And to those of you who have seen this on another list, sorry for the cross-posting. Thanks for sharing your thoughts! A faculty member requested that our library start a video and computer games collection to support a new instructional program in designing such games. In chatting with the faculty member, he envisions students coming to the library to use the games. We would have appropriate equipment, including consoles. We would be able to implement this in phases, and if we select that as the best approach, he suggests that we start with games played on a console, such as a Wii or PlayStation, and move to computer-based games at a later date. I would be interested in hearing from anyone who has such a collection. Again, the intent is to support this new program, not provide entertainment or a general lending library of games. Would love to hear about your experiences!

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
