About the Collection
The University Library Games Collection consists of over 1,000 video games and over 150 board games, available to circulate for library patrons. The collection used to be housed at the Undergraduate Library, but with Undergrad's closing, the games came under the management of the Global Popular Culture collection. Video games can now be found in the Main Stacks, while board games are housed at the Grainger Engineering Library.
