Presenter: Eli Neiburger (Ann Arbor District Library)

Description: To a non-hardcore gamer, navigating the complex game software space can be daunting. There are so many platforms, formats, genres, sub-genres, super-genres, ratings, blockbusters, sleepers, clones, also-rans, and just plain lousy games that choosing the right one to really draw a crowd is a challenge. This session will examine different types of gaming audiences you may wish to attract, from the casual to the hopelessly hardcore, and how to choose the games that best suit them and your organization. We'll also discuss tournament formats that work well for each type of game to help you plan successful gaming programs for a wide range of audiences.

Intended Audiences:

  • Instructional librarians
  • Pretty much any librarian
  • Technology librarians
  • Youth librarians

at:

  • Academic libraries
  • Public libraries
  • School libraries
