It sounds to me that they require the services of an archivist. Archives are not only paper. Sometimes they are product.

I am not affiliated with Steve Jackson Games, I just happen to visit their "Daily Illuminator" blog. I saw the request and thought that someone on the listserve might be able to help them fulfill their request. To clarify (again, this is mostlu supposition since I posted the entire request from SJ games), I believe SJ Games is looking for a way to orginize their archive of games. These are not (just) the products that they currently sell, this includes products from competitors and out-of-print items. It is essentially a reference collection for developers to access when creating new products. They are trying to see the best way to arrange the collection for their reference. A default (alphabetically by publisher) doesn't appeal strongly to them. Would you suggest a multi-faceted database (facets including publisher, subject/genre, game mechanic, etc.)? Christopher P.
