Subject access to films and videos

the long version

Having a robust metadata strategy for digital films and videos will enable the discovery, transport, and reuse of these materials across disparate repository and media management systems. What does this suggest? That metadata for video media must be both actionable and designed for use on a networked computer. The first edition of Subject Access to Films & Videos has been effectively used by catalogers for years, but today's library features substantially more headings, and an enhanced vision of what may be considered "adequate subject access" is now available.
