I found this lovely article about a computer club in a library.
Imagine, Invent, Program, Share: A Library-Hosted Computer Club Promotes 21st Century SkillsFull Text Available . By: Myers, Brian. Computers in Libraries, v29 n3 p6-9, 38-40 Mar 2009. (EJ831235)
Database: ERIC
It is about a group of young people, game designers, programmers and people with interest who all gather at the library to discuss media projects and related events. The library also has consoles and games for play and hosts tournaments. All in all, its an excellent example of the kind of information on video games in libraries I'm looking for. Some of the descriptors are: Video Games, Clubs, Computers, Public Libraries, Programming, Computer Literacy, Adolescents, Access to Computers, Library Services, Workshops
I pick out the ones I like: video games, public libraries, adolescents
A search for video games and public libraries results in 2 hits. The original article and an article on video game circulation. An excellent resource, but I'm going to try an get a few more results. A search for video game and adolescent gets 115 results, which is a few too many. A search for video game, adolescent and library gets 5 results, most of which look very helpful and would more than likely be another good leaping point for a new search.
