The article that I read was the Shifted Librarrian and I found it to be quite interesting. After working in a library for the last 3 years I have observed how disruptive that teens can be to other patrons because their parents have dropped them off and they are bored being in a library. I would have to agree that I think gaming in the library would be a great interest to them, because it can be fun and educational at the same time. As it stated in the article, how parents would much rather have their teens doing something fun and of interest to them, then to have them out on the streets.
I did play one of the games on Carnegie Mellon and found it to be quite entertaining, but a bit confusing on the instructions. Once I figured it out I was on a roll helping patrons finding what they needed and quickly returning their books to book drop. I did manage to win in the end.
Yes, Yes, I am for gaming in the library!!!!! Especially after reading how many teens it would bring in on one night and how much more the teen books where being checked out as of a result of gaming night.
