Thanks Eileen. This is very helpful. Cheers,
Matt From: videolib-boun...@lists.berkeley.edu [mailto:videolib-boun...@lists.berkeley.edu] On Behalf Of Karsten, Eileen Sent: Monday, March 12, 2012 5:09 PM To: videolib@lists.berkeley.edu Subject: Re: [Videolib] Question about searching videos by geography We put in subject headings into our records for geographic searching. For films made in another country, we use Foreign films - France, etc. If the film is set in a foreign country, we would create a subject heading, e.g. Midnight in Paris would have Paris (France) - Drama. For films set in the U.S., if we think the location is important to the film, we will add subject heading, e..g. Chicago (Ill.) - Drama. I hope this helps.

Or do you just rely on the 650/651/655 fields in MARC?

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.
