Video Games Collection

A research guide to inspire and assist with the study of video games within the UCLA community.

Access to Print Resources (as of 3/20/20)

 

As part of UCLA's transition to remote instruction, and the Library's necessary decision to close all Library locations, access to print resources and special collections is not available. Please take advantage of electronic resources such as ebooks and article databases. The UCLA community can connect to these online resources off-campus via the VPN or proxy server. Interlibrary loan is still available for electronic journal articles; however, ebooks cannot be borrowed on interlibrary loan. You can also temporarily access digitized print books via HathiTrust, although you cannot download or print these books--only do screenshots.

The library is also extending access to our print collection beyond what's available in HathiTrust through the Pilot Emergency Temporary Digititzation on Request Service (PETDOR). Please review the PETDOR FAQ for guidance on using this service. 

For help with any of our resources, please schedule an appointment with a librarian (audio/video Zoom appointments available), contact your subject librarian directly, or use our 24/7 chat service.    

    

About the Games

The UCLA Library houses popular video games, consoles, and accessories for use by students, faculty, and staff. Come and browse the collection in Powell Library's Main Reading Room (2nd floor) or search the Library Catalog to check on the status and availability of a video game.

A Bruin Card is required to borrow video games. To check one out, bring the empty display case to Powell's Inquiry Desk.

Consoles are available upon request.
