[Publib] Gaming in Public Libraries

[Oellrich, Margaret]

Hello all,
I am a current student in a LIS program and am writing a paper on gaming in public libraries for a management class.  This is my first post to Publib. 

I am looking for any expressions of support or opposition to gaming (both video and unplugged) in libraries.  Any anecdotal comments would also be helpful. 

The literature I have reviewed thus far has been predominantly positive, but I would also like to discuss some of the challenges/cons to gaming. I am interested in the different approaches libraries are taking to incorporate gaming into their services.  As this is for a management class, management perspectives would be especially useful.

Thank you in advance for any thoughts you have.  If you would prefer to contact me off list, my email is oellmarg at dom.edu and all confidentiality will be respected.
