Hi Jo Ann,
I have nothing to add, but will be interested to hear how you fare. We
had requests for some online-only games, but were not able to purchase
them since our Acquisitions head determined that the license from the PS
Store prohibits institutional use. I'm very interested in hearing how
other institutions have handled this.
Best,

Hi All,
I know some of you have experience with gaming. We've purchased a few
here but have just received a request to purchase an online game that
is accessed from a website. Before I attempt to contact and negotiate
with them I wonder if anyone can share words of wisdom in this area.
The game in question is The Novelist from store.steampowered.com
Many thanks!
Jo Ann

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues
relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control,
preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and
related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective
working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication
between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and
distributors.
