To keep up with a growing trend among other academic libraries, Helen C. White Library is now offering students a variety of video games available for checkout in the Open Book Café.
Pamela O'Donnell, an academic librarian at College Library, said the staff wanted to make games for the latest systems available. The library conducted a poll through its website to ask students which systems they wanted games for.
According to the poll, 34 percent of respondents said they wanted Xbox 360, 33 percent said Nintendo Wii and 19 percent said Playstation 3.
Once the systems were decided, Kelli Keclik, an associate academic librarian, said she looked at reviews online and spoke with gamers she knew before she chose the games.
Available titles include Halo 3
