How to Create and How to Use a Moving Image Catalog
Libraries, archives, and museums hold a wide variety of moving images, all of which require the same level of attention to issues of organization and access as their print counterparts. Consequently, the people who create collection level records and metadata for these resources need to be equally conversant in the principles of cataloging. Martha Yee covers both descriptive (AACR2R, AMIM, and FIAF rules) and subject cataloging (with a focus on LCSH). In the process, the reader is encouraged to think critically and to be prepared to make decisions in ambiguous situations where solutions to problems are not always obvious or clearly dictated by specific rules.
First of all, the moving image field follows a number of different standards for
cataloging, including The Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules, 2nd ed. rev.,
Archival Moving Image Materials: a Cataloging Manual, and The FIAF Cataloging Rules.
