Hello,
I am interested in any libraries, be they public or academic, that offer
games console facilities (such as Playstations, Dreamcasts, Nintendo's). If
your library does, I would be interested to know:
1) why - what was the rationale for offering these facilities
2) who funded the games consoles
3) how popular are they in terms of use
Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
