Gaming

If I were a teen librarian and in charge of buying a new gaming system for the public library, I would definitely need to do research beforehand because I know nothing about gaming systems. I would begin by doing some research on the Internet, peruse a few Internet forums to see what other people like. Then I would look for video game magazines to read a few reviews. Third, I would ask the library patrons, probably using comment cards, which system they would like to see in the library and why. Finally, I would compare prices and see what the library could afford. Overall, I would try and match the system that the patrons most wanted, if it could fit with the budget.

The gaming system I would choose, and the I've played the most, is the Wii. The Wii system is great because it's so interactive and you can have multiple players. The library could have Wii nights every so often and let a bunch of patrons participate at once.
