Short DescriptionWhat information do you need to pitch a circulating board game collection to your library? What comes after the yes? Cataloger Matthew Scrivner explores the answers to these questions and more.
Long DescriptionWhat strategies convince Collection Development departments or other internal stakeholders to take a chance on a gaming collection? If you get the yes, what comes next? Speaking from his own experience, Kansas City Public Library Cataloger Matthew Scrivner will share ideas and key points in building a pitch for Collections departments and administrators; meaningful ways to explore the work of other public libraries; how to build support across departments; basics of cataloging games for catalog discovery; and ways to develop processing practices that are sustainable through the lenses of time management and finances.
