The problem with games and sims
• Unclear definitions, categories• Different uses, audiences for same thing• Technical requirements, environments• Not “published” like books, journals, etc• Not published = not indexed or organized• Not organized = not easily found, evaluated• Not found = not used
The solution: a flexible inventory • We started collecting low-hanging fruit titles• Used very basic categories
– for Clinicians & Healthcare Providers – for Patients & Consumers
• Used Basecamp project management software for data gathering and review
• Used existing website tools from Ebling Library for initial mockups
Goal for inventory: A Faceted LibraryFaceted classification allows for a non-hierarchical, flexible

Potential path of the project
– Basic inventory – raw data– Databased, searchable inventory – cleaned data– Faceted browse/search – objective analysis– Ratings – subjective/qualitative analysis– Discussion – synthesis, peer review– Cloning for other subject areas - reproducibility – Interdisciplinary work by sharing data/facets -
reproduction
