1.6. (Series Area) Archival Moving Image Materials (AMIM)
Archival moving image materials practice: The cataloging of materials held by film and television archives is based on the cataloging manual Archival Moving Image Materials, issued by the Motion Picture, Broadcasting, and Recorded Sound Division, Library of Congress, in 1984.
LC practice: LC uses this manual for all its moving image materials cataloging.
For television series, theatrical serials, newsreels, and educational and technical series that are intended to be viewed consecutively, the title proper consists of the series and the episode, part, individual, or segment titles rather than just the episode, part, individual, or segment title with the series title recorded in the series area. When the episode or part title is preceded by a number or alphabetic designation, the designation is recorded before the episode or part title.
Educational and technical series that are not necessarily intended to be viewed consecutively and very broad, "umbrella-like" television series that gather together large numbers of quite disparate programs for promotional purposes are recorded in the series area.
