Abstract | Gaming has come to the library. School librarians are increasingly incorporating gaming into their program of resources and services. Besides addressing the natural interest that youth have in games, school librarians recognize the educational benefits of games, particularly in terms of information and digital literacies. While board games have been around for centuries, e-gaming (that is, playing video, console, and computer games) is a relatively new phenomenon. And, unlike board games that have interested both sexes, e-games seem to engage boys more than girls. In this article, the author discusses how school librarians can address this apparent inequity and provide positive e-gaming experiences for all students. (ERIC). |
