Personal Gaming Platform History ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],*note the gap in platform upgrades reflects college and graduate school *in the past 25+ years I have played too many games to list (or remember) What I played this week

Why are Games an issue with Libraries? ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

What is our attitude based on our collections ?

<- look 33 libraries have it as of September 2007 Note as of 2007 Smash Brothers Melee is incredibly popular and is a best selling title for a wide age range.

<- look 147 libraries have it as of December 2008 I see the beginnings of a trend of inclusion.

<- searching subject headings the in 2007 we see 1138 library holding for a book strongly against gaming. What’s going on here???

<- in 2008 we see 1154 up from 1138 in 2007 for library holdings for a book strongly against gaming. However we see 599 libraries with a subscription to a Nintendo magazine.
