Part I.  Name, Subject, and Genre Heading Access Points  (Appendix A:  Access Points)

Introduction

These guidelines serve as a framework for the assignment of personal name, corporate body, subject, and genre heading added entries at the second and third levels of cataloging.  See 0E.

Moving image materials are mainly collaborative.  Many people and corporate entities participate in the creation of moving image works.  This characteristic raises the question of how to provide access to those numerous individuals, companies, and organizations.  Numerical restrictions may be set, such as no more than three access points at the second level and no more than fifteen at the third level.

Another approach would be to follow the guidelines of AACR2, which state that if more than three people are responsible for a function, then only the first person named is recorded and given an access point.  Archives will probably want to develop more specific policies, such as establishing limits or suggested limits on the number of added entries.
