Dear Ian and All
We did have a lecturer enquire about whether we could stock games in the
library to support a game studies module. However we found it to be very
problematic, in terms of cost of games themselves and peripheral
equipment, Wii fit board etc. Also how to stop students who were not
studying the module taking games out and leaving none for actual
students studying games module. Also additional costs in terms of
supplying secure storage behind the issue desk for the games themselves.
I know of two public library authorities who rent out games, but these
are income generating and I am not happy with charging students for
something that they need for their studies, when they have enough
expenses as it is.
