Hi- I'd be interested to hear from folks who have successfully integrated games collections and use of game consoles in their institutions, particularly in those with academic game design curricula. Do you check out consoles? How do you collect games? What are the challenges of becoming a gaming venue? How has this impacted your budget?? Your space?
Thanks! Debra Debra H. Mandel Acting Associate Dean, User Services Northeastern University Libraries 320 SL Boston, MA 02115 617-373-4902 617-373-5409-FAX
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.
