Challenges

  • Confusing search results in online catalog
  • Difficulty of finding materials in hidden collections
  • Lack of relevant authorized genre headings

SLIDE 5

Goals of Enhanced Discovery

  • Provide efficient and effective catalog

searching

  • Allow for “browsing” hidden collections
  • Use terms relevant to users
  • Collocate similar resources
  • Generate recommendations for users
  • Create programming around genres

Literature Review

Uncataloged Collections

  • Inaccessible to your community
  • At a greater risk for loss or theft

2015 Survey on Tabletop Game Collections

Do you create bibliographic catalog records for tabletop games?

  • 31% -- yes
  • 51% -- no
  • 18% -- sometimes

Specialized Lists of Genre Terms

  • Art and architecture thesaurus

(1970s)

  • Genre terms: A thesaurus for use in

rare book and special collections cataloguing (1983)

Library of Congress Genre/Form Terms for Library and Archival Materials (LCGFT)

  • Cartographic materials
  • General materials
  • Law materials
  • Literature
  • Moving images
  • Music
  • Non-musical sound recordings
  • Religious materials
  • Art

slide-13
SLIDE 13

Locally Created Genre Term Lists

  • Artists’ books
  • Chemistry and engineering literature
  • Foreign films
  • Video games
  • Tabletop games

slide-14
SLIDE 14

Facets

  • Allow users to narrow search results by

choosing various subcategories

  • Examples (for games)

–Number of players –Age of players –Duration of play –Genre terms

Usability Studies of Faceted Searching

  • Relevance
  • Efficiency
  • Speed
  • Satisfaction

Cataloging

18

slide-19
SLIDE 19

Goal of Cataloging

  • The goal of every library is to provide access

to its collection. This goal is aided through records in the library catalog.

19

slide-20
SLIDE 20

Fear of the unknown

Every item in the library should have, at the least, a brief record. What stops libraries from cataloging unfamiliar items?

  • Catalogers are precise and

wish to provide the best access to the library’s items.

  • Catalogers like to have rules to

follow.

20

slide-21
SLIDE 21

Cataloging

  • Lack of best practices
  • Cataloger’s judgement
  • Records can be updated
  • User needs
  • Lead the way

21

slide-22
SLIDE 22

Brief/Minimal Records

If we want to improve access, we need to provide access.

Tabletop Game 245 00 Archer : $b once you go blackmail... a love letter game 246 30 Love letter 655 7 Tabletop games. $2 local Makerspace Item 245 00 Makey Makey : $b standard kit 650 0 Arduino (Programmable controller)

22

slide-23
SLIDE 23

Cooperative Cataloging

  • Upload records to OCLC for others to use and

enhance.

  • It’s cooperative cataloging not competitive

cataloging.

  • We can enhance others work to best serve all
  • f our users.

SLIDE 24

Realia?!

  • Realia: objects and material from everyday

life

  • Realia for catalogers: 3D objects from real life
  • Realia for libraries: sometimes those dusty

things you have on that back shelf.

24

slide-25
SLIDE 25

Resource Description and Access (RDA) & Realia

  • Type of record: realia (3D objects) man-made or natural
  • Type of material:

– Art original (a) – Art reproduction (c) – Diorama (d) – Game (g) – Microscope slide (p) – Model (q) – Realia (r) – Toy (w)

  • Physical Description – description of the extent of an item

– Content

  • three-dimensional form - 3D

– Media

  • Unmediated – no playback device needed

– Carrier

  • Object – 3D man-made or natural

Three-dimensional form vs. Tactile three-dimensional form

32

You will see some games and realia with tactile three-dimensional

  • form. We use tactile three-

dimensional form for items that require touch to be perceived. This puzzle box is a braille box that requires touch. You can not use it properly without the sense of touch.

Genre Headings

33

slide-34
SLIDE 34

Genre Headings

  • Use an established heading when possible
  • If you can’t find a heading, create a local

heading

– Find a reliable and trusted resource for terms (Board Game Geek) to ensure the use of current vocabulary. – What terms do your users use? – Create standardized local headings – Maintain vocabulary as the collection grows – Share those headings with others

Establishing our terms

36

  • Basic list of terms

– 50 terms – Basic types of games

  • Board games, dice games, card games

– Basic mechanics

  • Area of control games, cooperative games

– Emphasis on terms for educators

  • Biology games, math games

Educational Alignment

To encourage the use of games in curriculum development we have added educational alignments:

  • Texas Essential Skills and Knowledge (TEKS)

– 658 Science Concepts. $b The student recognizes multiple forms of energy and knows the impact of energy transfer and energy conservation in everyday life. $c 112.C.(c)(5)

  • Common Core

– 658 Science Concepts. $b Determine the meaning of symbols, key terms, and

  • ther domain-specific words and phrases as they are used in a specific

scientific or technical context relevant to grades 11-12 texts and topics. $c CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RST.11-12.4.

SLIDE 43

Facets

  • They make browsing easier
  • They are already a familiar search tool for

patrons

  • The main question for you is: What and how

do you want to facet?

– Depends on the type of collection – Use common terms/phrases – Find a good balance between specificity and ease

  • f use

  • Every situation is unique
  • Think about your library’s structure
  • Build on already established success
  • Know your library’s larger and long-term goals
  • Always have an advocate
