The Rovi Gaming Collection consists of more than 17,000 console and PC games created between approximately 1993 and 2015, with a few titles dating to the mid-1980s. The collection also includes almost 700,000 music CDs and more than 160,000 DVDs. The collection includes numerous consoles, specialized peripherals, and associated collectors editions and advertising materials.
At this time, only CDs and DVDs are circulating. Selected titles from the Gaming Collection are available for in-person, recreational or academic use in the Video Game Labs, which are located in the Digital and Multimedia Library on the 4th floor, West Wing of the Main Library.
