If you are not members already of the Association of Moving Image
Archivists, consider joining that group. Many of the members are
librarians. They were active in developing and testing MARC AMIM2
guidelines, among other activities. Membership fees are very
reasonable. There is a lot of cutting edge work with digital video
preservation, etc. going on in that group. www.amianet.org
