- 59. Recommendations • Make the library attractive to gaming enthusiasts. Provide them with something they do not have at home and give them an opportunity to become involved when they visit the library. • Make the gaming strategy part of the event strategy. • Invite people behind the game productions, users of the games, and professionals to talk about games and gaming culture. Gaming dissemination (also) consists of meetings between people with an interest in the same medium. • Cultivate a community through attractive events. • Consider partnerships and cooperation when planning gaming activities, hybrid events and dissemination. • By creating and developing games, users will gain knowledge of, competences in, and insight into a medium which they meet everywhere in their daily lives.
