    What libraries can gain from gaming (6/25/2008)

    In this video, two librarians from the Netherlands visit Illinois public libraries to see how incorporating gaming into their program offerings have affected visitor counts and circulation statistics. They also interview librarians Kate Williams, Jenny Levine, Edwin Mijnsbergen, and Michael Stephens as well as gaming experts Jan Meijroos and Igor Mayer. The discussion of gaming and 21st century literacies is intriguing, and non-gamers will find the overview of game consoles useful.
