Library Of Congress Genre-Form Thesaurus (Lcgft) For Moving Images: Best Practices, Scott M. Dutkiewicz, Bill Anderson, Karen Gorss Benko, Greta De Groat, Jeannette Ho, Susan Wynne

OLAC Publications and Training Materials

The purpose of this document is to provide guidelines, with examples, for the usage of Library of Congress Genre/Form Terms for Library and Archival Materials (LCGFT) for moving image materials. These guidelines are intended to complement existing official guidelines. As genre/form practice in general is currently being reviewed by several other committees, these guidelines will need to be revisited in the future; however, these best practices fulfill the need for short-term guidance.
