FROM ASSASSINS CREED 2 TO THE FIVE GREATEST WARRIORS: GAMES AND READING.

This paper examines whether the same appeal characteristics work for reading and for games. Explored are the use of readers advisory skills in working with young people to investigate how to suggest titles gamers might like to read, and games readers might like to play. Public libraries should talk with their readers and those who play games, and also find out if they have staff with specialist knowledge of games.
