Video-Game Rooms Become the Newest Library Space Invaders – Technology – The Chronicle of Higher Education via kwout
Looks like my colleagues up in Canada are once again at the cutting edge of innovation. The University of Calgary is adding a gaming space as part of their $175 million dollar Taylor Family Digital Library. Gaming spaces like these aren’t examples of pandering to students but are generally connected to a gaming programming program or other digital media activities that require students to understand and explore the history of gaming. It is good to see the foresight from institutions like U of C and many others in the US and Canada who are recognizing that gaming is a significant part of our culture that will be studied like everything else.
