Gaming Question…

April 13th, 2008

The Monkey Speaks - “Librarians who are fans of gaming programs keep saying that teens are lured in by gaming, and once they’re through the door, they use the library in more traditional ways. But is there any documentation for this claim? All I keep seeing are anecdotes. Are teens who come in for games actually checking things out? I’ve rarely seen it myself. I hope someone will do a study one day soon of how well gaming works as a draw to get teens to check things out - especially things with pages and print.”
