Thing 15: Libraries and Games

Gaming. I am not opposed to this in libraries. I think that part of the place of libraries is to provide a democratic opportunity for access to computer technology. I think this perfectly acceptible and also necessary to try to close access gaps. If people chose to spend their allotted time on games or emailing or job searching or facebook that is their chose.

Puzzle Pirates is not of that much interest to me.

Second Life
the first video made it seem worse than I thought!!


I don't think that I would participate in either of these. Our library staff is very small and I don't think the payoff for staff investment of time would benefit us at all.
