Having read the article by john kirriemuir article in clip update September 2012,
which discusses academic game use mainly at US universities. It put a different
slant on something that was introduced last term at my library. Where we
introduced the lending of 40 or so computer games, suitable for different platforms-
ps3, Xbox 360 and Psp. Having read the article, one idea it suggested was keeping the games for archive purposes, something that i hadn't considered- the technology will change, at quiet a quick rate, so it might be worth holding to the current techology. Another point that the article raised was one university had purchased consoles, sadly this has not been something that we have been able to due, because of budgetary reasons. Within the article is discusses using gaming for information literacy, something which I could introduce in to our library, as the college teaches design for games at both further and higher education levels.
Going to look in to the international games day @ your library for next November.
