		+	The Seeley G. Mudd Library has a small collection of Nintendo Wii video games to support library and campus-wide programming, as well as the growing field of research surrounding video games. The games and the Wii system are available to all Lawrence University faculty, staff, and students. The games circulate for 3 days and can be reserved. The Wii system must be checked out by a circulation supervisor, who will discuss with the patron how long the system will be needed. We plan to add more Wii games and games for other systems as demand calls for. We are also considering adding retro games and systems.
