Gamification: A Practical Guide for Librarians. (2017)

摘要

The idea of gamifying library activities to engage patrons and students is not new, but for those who have not had the experience of participating in similar games themselves, initiating the process in their own libraries may be intimidating. In Gamification: A Practical Guide for Librarians, McMunn-Tetangco lays out the various approaches from beginning to end of how game-based activities can be used for outreach and learning in different library settings. In this way, games can be used to raise the profile of libraries, increase engagement, and personalize the content to make connections with patrons and students.
