Download or read book Librarian s Guide to Games and Gamers written by Michelle Goodridge and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2021-11-15 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Helps librarians who are not themselves seasoned gamers to better understand the plethora of gaming products available and how they might appeal to library users. As games grow ever-more ubiquitous in our culture and communities, they have become popular staples in public library collections and are increasing in prominence in academic ones. Many librarians, especially those who are not themselves gamers or are only acquainted with a handful of games, are ill-prepared to successfully advise patrons who use games. This book provides the tools to help adult and youth services librarians to better understand the gaming landscape and better serve gamers in discovery of new games—whether they are new to gaming or seasoned players—through advisory services. This book maps all types of games—board, roleplaying, digital, and virtual reality—providing all the information needed to understand and appropriately recommend games to library users. Organized by game type, hundreds of descriptions offer not only bibliographic information (title, publication date, series, and format/platform), but genre classifications, target age ranges for players, notes on gameplay and user behavior type, and short descriptions of the game's basic premise and appeals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I love Elizabeth Bennet, and I shall do whatever it takes to win her, against any man-relation, friend, or foe, depend upon it. Fitzwilliam Darcy, feeling overwhelming despair at the finality of Elizabeth Bennet's rejection at Hunsford, decides he must accept the fate that duty has dictated to him. His cousins Colonel Fitzwilliam and Viscount Saye are aghast at Darcy's decision and do their best to thwart him, with cajolery, threats, and bribery all failing to move him. At last, the colonel suggests a daring plan: one last chance to reunite Darcy and Elizabeth, and one last opportunity for love. But nothing is as it seems in this battle of wits, where the stakes are true love. Everyone has their wagers placed, waiting to see whose plan for happily ever after will prevail.
