Gaming in biblioteca e al museo: uno sguardo d’insieme

Abstract

The article retraces the steps that led to the introduction of video games in the Italian public libraries – also with an overview of the American context – and presents the most interesting experiences concerning the use of serious games, video games designed to produce learning, in the academic libraries and museums, referring to the national and international context.
