The Library Arcade features games designed to help students develop research skills through entertaining and easy-to-repeat activities.  There are two rather simplistic games from the Carnegie Mellon Libraries: one simulates retrieving the proper types of sources for students researching in a library, the other teaches shelving using Library of Congress classification.
