On slide 19 of

http://susi.theochem.tuwien.ac.at/events/ws2017/notes/Laskowski_optic-xas.pdf

it has "broadening for Drude terms choose gamma for each case".

The above statement may be advising to do an extensive literature survey 
for the specific structure under calculation.

Slide 20 has 0.1 for a metal and 0.05 for semiconductor.

When fitting a curve to experimental data such as in Origin [ 
https://my.originlab.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=10648 ], starting 
guess values may be needed in the Values column in the fit window:

Perhaps, those slide 20 values are typically a good starting guess value.

You might see if you can find the value in a table on online. For example:

See table under "Application to materials" in:

See Table 4 in article titled "Conductive nitrides: Growth principles, 
optical and electronic properties, and their perspectives in photonics 
and plasmonics":

See Table 1 and others in article titled "Fitting the optical constants 
of gold, silver, chromium, titanium, and aluminum in the visible bandwidth":
