New Tool to Assess Physical Condition of AV Materials
Posted by Alicia on 23 June, 2008 in Preservation
Columbia University Libraries has developed and tested a tool to inventory and assess the physical condition of audio and moving image materials. This survey tool is designed for use by librarians and archivists who are not media experts. It provides a mechanism to develop preservation priorities by recording quantities and types of audio and moving image materials, documenting the physical condition of the media and their housings, collecting information about existing levels of intellectual control and intellectual property rights, and evaluating their potential research value. The “Preservation Survey Tool for Audio and Moving Image Collections” and the accompanying instruction manual are now available for download.
