FIAF Moving Image Cataloguing Manual Open Forum

This free-text Open Forum section is provided for users to address any matters relating to the FIAF Moving Image Cataloguing Manual (2016) not covered in the Survey as well as an opportunity to submit other comments or questions.

This section is meant only to collect feedback. Individual cataloguing questions and Manual revision recommendations will not be immediately or directly answered. However, a regularly compiled Q&A document will be available and posted to the FIAF website to collectively address issues raised.

As far as possible, please use English, but if this is not possible then we will try to find some way to translate comments submitted in other languages for feeding back to the Manual authors.

Please note that you can only add comments to this Forum if you are connected to the members-only area of the website.
