MANAGING DIGITAL VIDEOFrom Practice to Theory
"It's a rather rare phenomenon for an established medium to die. They usually expand wildly in their early days and then shrink back to some protective niche as they are challenged by later and more highly evolved competitors . . . but some media do, in fact, perish." …………. Bruce Sterling Dead Media Manifesto

Some CaveatsDigital/Analog Library Grew Organically
Workflow is is tried to hardware
Ultra Nexus WinLGX
Simultaneous Playback/encoding
Good: Combines Playback
MPEG-2

Traditional SidePrograms come in from outside (Import, Local Import)
not archived
Played
if digital, erased,
if traditional format, given back.
Programs from inside the facility
added to database.
Weeded then stored as tape in subbasement.

Speaking of the Tape Library (Intellectual)
Unique identifier=Program Number + Episode NumberCheck box for NAS

Speaking of the Tape Library (Physical)
Weeding:
Programs dating back to 1981.
Lightly culled during 2005 facility move. Library is considered a working library and environmental conditions are access storage.

Loss of 1 terabyte of programs
Worst Case Scenario

What we lost
Upside: Didn’t lose much content because we are still a tape based house.Some of the lost content was doomed anyway
Upside: Didn’t lose much content because we are still a tape based house.Some of the lost content was doomed anyway
Depending on set up: Staff Time Another play on old
tapes 3000 hours

What We Gained A fresh start Unique identifiers or a
better naming convention The ability to track
digitized programs though the system
An easier way to count different categories of programs (local, import)
![Page 18: Digital Video File Organization](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110120/558675d9d8b42a697a8b46ee/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
What We Gained (continued) A hard look at our
Collection Development Policy
The impetus to weed an uncontrolled collection
Discussions about access
The American Library Association defines collection development policies (CDP) as “documents which define the scope of a library's existing collections, plan for the continuing development of resources, identify collection strengths, and outline the relationship between selection philosophy and the institution's goals, general selection criteria, and intellectual freedom”.

What We Gained (continued) Discussions about new
content management solutions
The development of a records management schedule for digital files
