Forschungsdaten von Amateuren – Fan-Communities und ihr Beitrag zur datenbasierten Forschung an Videospielkultur (Amateurs research data - fan communities and their contribution to data-based research on video game culture)

From Google's English:

'Making video games accessible to researchers poses many challenges to academic libraries, especially with regard to the technical and spatial aspects of media usage. When researching cultural and media science issues in video games, the need also quickly transcends the mere provision of video game media and requires contextualizing information on video games. In the DFG research project "Data-based search for clues of global influences of Japanese video game culture", Leipzig University Library, together with the East Asian Institute of the University of Leipzig, is trying to make diverse data sources usable as research data on video games. The focus will also be on data derived from fan community activities: databases with rich video game metadata, discussion forums, social media and journalistic content.'
