Getting to Know Your Users Character Stats

Title: Getting to Know Your Users Character Stats

Session Description: Your Libraryland is rockin’. There’s every possible cool resource, magic book, and incredible library wizard. The possibilities for information seeking adventures are off the hook. Plus you have characters ready to explore your world. But who ARE they? What are their stats? What do they expect from the game session? What about the characters you invited that never showed up? In this session, we’ll use our own dungeon crawling experience (research) to kick off a workshop to create your own exploration into your users’ habits, challenges, and needs. We’ll draw an adventure map (methodologies) together, develop some monsters (questions) that suit your game plan, and think up storylines (procedures) for a character exploration session that your users will be clamoring to play.

Session Format & Style: Guided hands-on workshop

Takeaways: An initial plan for how to reach out to your (non)/users to better understand their information situations and needs

Organization: Formed group
