--Are you responsible for analog and digital audiovisual collections?

--Do you want to create and share catalog records using common content standards?

--Are you ready to explore PBCore?

Find out how to deal with moving images like these:

  • 16mm football films might thrill the Development office
  • Videos for course-related screenings and research
  • VHS oral histories crying out for transfer
  • Thesis films (or what is really in those cans?)
  • ¾-inch video community cable collections
  • Promotional AV and corporate works in all media

Full-day workshop with hands-on introduction to content standard and data structure selection for moving images (film and video).

We will concentrate on PBCore, the metadata standard established in 2005 specifically for audiovisual media assets and rapidly gaining a community of practice; and its use in conjunction with DACS (Describing Archives: A Content Standard) to help support findability--and more efficient management of your analog and digital audiovisual holdings.

Workshop will include demonstrations of PBCore’s value in describing intellectual content, rights, and technical metadata; discussion of “More Product, Less Process” decisionmaking for under-resourced AV collections; explore implementation of DACS/EAD and PBCore through an open-source collection management system.
