Gaming in Libraries: A survey of activities in the UK
This survey aims to provide a picture of the extent of support for games and gaming in all types of UK libraries. Gaming in libraries can be controversial, especially with current financial constraints. However, there is currently little evidence about the provision of gaming resources and activities (electronic and traditional) or about the potential benefits and difficulties of promoting gaming in libraries.
We would be grateful if you would spend a few minutes completing the short questionnaire available at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/VGWZKKM
All responses will be treated in confidence and only used for the purposes of this research project. Respondents will not be identified in reports or analysis of the data. If you have any queries about the survey or would like to receive a copy of the findings, please email [log in to unmask]
Many thanks in advance for your help. The closing date for responses is 31st August 2010.
Background information
Since 2007, the Library Game Lab at Syracuse has been collecting data about gaming in libraries in the United States. This survey is an attempt to collect similar data for the UK. Many of the questions are based on those devised by Scott Nicholson and his colleagues (see http://gamelab.syr.edu/), with some adaptations for a UK audience.
