But, who hasn't encountered the problem of cellars and archives crammed with all different kinds of material? Defective perforation, film rolls totally infested with fungus, not to mention the videotapes that are full of dropouts. As soon as an editor looks for a particular programme or clipping, the big search begins. In order to protect conventional archives from ageing as well as wear and tear it is necessary to copy the material in regular time intervals. A procedure that is quite costly. However, the alternative to all this, is to archive everything in digitalized computer compatible formats. A central database system is the basis for an efficient administration of the video library and thus its successful exploitation. A computer assisted library system is also able to serve as a source for background information and can therefore improve the media product's profile. It gets even better, if the library system is accessible through the internet, to enable a preferably big and independent group od users to access the content.
