Hi Maureen-

PN1995.9 is what we use.  Here's a  link may work.  Should be "persistent."

Subject: [Videolib] media cataloging question

Our cataloging folks have been cataloging our circulating DVDs as (mostly) PN 
1995.9, then organized by genre.  They claim they could catalog more quickly if 
they began using some other PN number, then organizing them by director or by 
title.
Is this true?  I am not a cataloger.  Obviously.
Do other academic libraries use LOC to catalog their DVDs?  If so, do you use 
PN 1995.9, or something else?

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues 
relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, 
preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and 
related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective 
working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication 
between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and 
distributors.
