This short white paper (9 pages) proposes an extension to the More Product, Less Process (MPLP) methodology, one more suitable when processing audiovisual collections. It briefly describes the MPLP approach for traditional archive collections, illustrating why it is not truly sufficient in the av domain. The paper ends by offering a specific methodology for audiovisual collections and includes examples.
The author clearly illustrates how the MPLP approach is insufficient for audiovisual collection processing and offers a practical one in its place. The outlined approach and examples are enough to get an archivist started. Interesting for both inexperienced and experienced archivists who need to audit and potentially plan a reformatting project.
