Title

dc:title

searchable=yes

hidden=no

required field

Devise a title for the video. Include basic who, what, where, and when information. Use the date when the video was shot.

When the video is a clip:

• the title of a video should describe the content of just the clip, not the complete film/video (the complete work should be described in the Complete Work Summary field).
• Add the following to the Notes field: "Title of clip supplied by cataloger."
• When the clip is one of several clips that together form a complete work, use the word "part." Enter the part number and total number of parts in the following format: part 1 of 4. For example: "Grass Roots Lobbying for Public Employee Health Premiums ca. 1980, part 1 of 2," "Grass Roots Lobbying for Public Employee Health Premiums ca. 1980, part 2 of 2," etc.
• When the clip is one of several clips that together do not form a complete work, use the word "clip" in the title; for example, "Grass Roots Lobbying for Public Employee Health Premiums ca. 1980, clip 1," "Grass Roots Lobbying for Public Employee Health Premiums ca. 1980, clip 2," etc.

When the video is a complete work:

• add appropriate information indicating it is a complete work. For example, you can add a parenthetical qualifier to the title: "Ship Christening at Deny Shipyard, Seattle, March 30, 1947 (complete work)." Also add the following to the Notes field: "Title supplied by cataloger."

Examples of devised title:

University of Washington commencement address, Seattle, 1929

Logan neighborhood, Spokane, aerial view, October, 1963

Construction workers completing a roof, Tacoma, June 22, 1972

Grass Roots Lobbying for Public Employee Premiums ca. 1980, part 1 of 2

searchable=yes

hidden=no

A description of the content of a clip. Describe the clip, not the film/video as a whole. Usually stated in the present tense, the clip summary sequentially describes the views, actions, or scenes comprising the clip. The description should be fairly general and brief; it is not necessary to describe every detail.

Examples:

Aerial views of the University of Washington campus, 1934, beginning with the Montlake Cut and moving north to Suzzallo Library.

Loggers climb and trim trees.

If the video is a complete work, leave this field blank.

If the work has a formal title, transcribe it. Take the title from the title screen if possible; otherwise, take the title from the end credits on the film/video, or the film leader or video label, or the container; if the title is not given in those sources, take it from secondary sources, such as accompanying documentation or reference sources.

If there is no formal title, devise one. Include basic who, what, where, and when information. Use the date when the film or video was shot. Also add the following to the Notes field: Original Source Title supplied by cataloger.

Example, transcribed title:

Evergreen Empire

Examples, devised titles:

University of Washington commencement ceremony and address, Seattle, 1929

Downtown Spokane aerial views, 1963

Subjects (TGM)

dc:subject

searchable=yes

hidden=no

A TGM (Thesaurus for Graphic Materials) subject term should be used only when LCSH provides no appropriate term for a particular subject.

Lumber industry

Subjects

(LCSH)

dc:subject

searchable=yes

hidden=no

CdmControlVocab=yes

Major subjects (people, organizations, topics, activities, events) and themes (or concepts) that represent the intellectual content of the video. Terms in this field are taken from the LC Subject Headings list (LCSH). Separate each term in a multiple-term heading with a dash (two hyphens). Separate each heading or heading string with ; [that is, semicolon+space]. If an appropriate term cannot be found in LCSH, check the LC Thesaurus for Graphic Materials (TGM), as instructed in the Subjects (TGM) field.

LCSH examples:

Markets--Washington (State)--Seattle

Penguins; Log buildings--Alaska--Fort Yukon

Genres (LCGFT)

dc:type

searchable=yes

hidden=no

CdmControlVocab=yes

If possible, assign at least one genre term that describes the video, not the film/video as a whole. If more than one may be assigned, separate each heading or heading string with ; [that is, semicolon+space]. Whenever possible, take terms from the Library of Congress Genre/Form Terms list (LCGFT). Public access to LCGFT is at http://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/collection_LCGFT_General

Examples:

Amateur Films

Educational television programs

Outtakes

Documentary films

Promotional films

Location Depicted

dc:coverage

Enter Country--State or Province--City.

Input in hierarchical form, with each location in the heading separated by a dash (equivalent to two hyphens). If the work is about more than one place, separate each heading with <br>.

Examples:

United States--Washington (State)--Seattle

United States--Alaska--Fort Yukon<br>Canada--Yukon--Dawson

Date Created

dc:date

searchable=no

hidden=no

required if information is known or may be estimated

State the year when the video was shot.

If the date is unknown, an attempt should be made to assign an approximate date, using the form "ca." (circa).

Specific dates (e.g., September 12, 1933; June 1912) are to be noted in the Notes field, and should also be incorporated into a cataloger-devised title in the Title field. (Do not incorporate a date into a formal, transcribed title.)

Note: This field is used in combination with the Dates field to enable searching (see that entry for details).

Examples:

1953

ca. 1953

Dates Created

dc:date

searchable=yes

hidden=yes

required field

Reflects the Date Created field.

If the date of creation is a single year, it is the same in both the Date Created and the Dates Created fields (1973)

If the date of creation is a "circa" date (e.g. ca. 1895), the Dates Created field contains the expanded version so that searching will find all dates covered by the concept of a "circa" date. Five years on either side of the "ca." date is the preferred form.

For example, if the Date Created field reads ca. 1910, enter the following in the Dates Created field:

1905, 1906, 1907, 1908, 1909, 1910, 1911, 1912, 1913, 1914, 1915

Earliest Date Created

no dc

searchable=no

hidden=yes

required if information is known or may be estimated

This field reflects the contents of the Date Created field (but in a standardized, numerical date format that may be stated not just to the year but to the month and/or day if applicable). Format the date in standardized, W3C-DTF format http://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-datetime: YYYY, or YYYY-MM, or YYYY-MM-DD as needed.

If the creation date is a single year, it is the same in both the Date Created and the Earliest Date Created fields.

If the earliest date of creation is known to be a specific day, as in the date of an interview that was conducted over one or more days, state the full date (either the single date or the first date in the date range as applicable).

If the date in the Date Created field is a "circa" date (e.g. ca. 1895), we expand the date to five years on either side in order to cover the concept of a "circa" date. Therefore, for a �circa� date, the Earliest Date Created field would contain the first date in the expanded date range (see example below).

Example, creation year is known:

1953

Example, creation year, month, day is known:

1953-01-24

Example, earliest date in an interview conducted over three days:

1980-05-14

Example, date in Date Created field is �ca. 1938�:

1933

Latest Date Created

no dc

searchable=no

hidden=yes

required if information is known or may be estimated

Like the Earliest Date Created field, this field reflects the contents of the Date Created field (in a standardized, numerical date format that may be stated not just to the year but to the month and/or day if applicable). Format the date in standardized, W3C-DTF format http://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-datetime: YYYY, or YYYY-MM, or YYYY-MM-DD as needed.

If the creation date is a single year, it is the same in both the Date Created and the Latest Date Created fields.

If the latest date of creation is known to be a specific day, as in the date of an interview that was conducted over one or more days, state the full date (either the single date or the latest date in the date range as applicable).

If the date in the Date Created field is a "circa" date (e.g. ca. 1895), we expand the date to five years on either side in order to cover the concept of a "circa" date. Therefore, for a �circa� date, the Latest Date Created field would contain the latest date in the expanded date range (see example below).

Example, creation year is known:

1953

Example, creation year, month, day is known:

1953-01-24

Example, latest date in an interview conducted over three days:

1980-05-16

Example, date in Date Created field is �ca. 1938�:

1943
