Member, Working Group on Genre Headings for Video Games, 2016-2018  

Over the course of 18 months, the working group

• Compiled a list of potential video game terms based on popular usage and/or usage in the industry.
• Researched the potential terms and narrowed the list down.
• Identified suitable reference sources for the video game genre terminology.
• Drafted complete authority records for approximately 80 terms based on literary warrant as found on video games themselves and in reference sources. I created authority records for genre terms M-R.
• Held ongoing discussions regarding issues/concerns/problems with the treatment of many of the specific terms when creating authority records for them.
