Games & the Libraries
The University of Florida's George A. Smathers Libraries are currently investigating games for outreach, instruction, research, and professional communication. See upcoming events on the Games in the Libraries page.
This investigation includes both in person and virtual gaming:
- Games in the Library: events, including playing Guitar Hero in Library West.
- Bioactive: Bioactive is an interactive fiction game about bioterrorism. Players must use key UF library resources in order to save themselves and the school.
- Second Life: The Libraries are currently investigating and testing Second Life, internet-based virtual world for social and professional interaction, for internal use and for patron services. To visit the virtual UF Library in Second Life, go to Cybrary City, coordinates: 97,15,24, or use the Second Life URL: http://slurl.com/secondlife/cybrary%20city/97/15/24/. Please contact Laura Jordan with any questions or suggestions.
