[Publib] Computer Games

[Tatar, Becky]

Hello, everyone,

I was wondering how many of you have collections of computer console
games - such as for Nintendo, Game Boy, Playstation, etc., in your
collections.  If you do, I have some questions for you.

1.	Do you have separate collections for children, and for teens and
adults?

2.	Do you split your collection among the various formats -
Nintendo, Game Boy, Playstation, Xbox, or do you limit your focus
to just 1 or 2 formats?  (If format is the correct word!)

3.	Is there a selection tool - either library related, or consumer
- that you use to make your selections?

4.	Are there titles you won't get for teens due to ratings - such
as Mature?

5.	What vendors do you use?

6.	What do you do for processing - labeling, call numbers/letters,
packaging.

7.	How are these shelved or stored for patron access?

8.	Do you allow reciprocal borrowers to borrow?  What about ILL?

I'm sure there are more issues I haven't thought of.  If there are,
please let me know.  You can e-mail these to me directly.  Thanks in
advance, since I will be on vacation next week!
