Tabletop role playing games (TTRPGs) are a growing presence in the collections and programming of public and academic libraries alike. However, as Taylor Skelton Smith’s recent article “A Dicey Situation” examines, current major controlled vocabularies often provide insufficient and inaccurate description, to the detriment of a TTRPG’s discoverability. Using Smith’s article as a starting point, Mackenzie Johnson and Diane Robson will combine their respective tabletop games expertise, Diane’s recent experience cataloging TTRPGs, and Mackenzie’s scholarly enthusiasm to bring some of the unique attributes of TTRPGs to catalogers’ attention, and discuss potential solutions for cataloging them more effectively. Join Mackenzie Johnson and Diane Robson for this coffee talk. For more details, see our Workshops page.

Registration runs from October 30 - November 18, 2024.

There is no cap on registration.

Workshop will be held on Nov. 20, 2024 at 2:30-3:30 CST or 3:30-4:30 EST.

Workshop time is shown in Eastern Time. See this in your time zone.
