The British Universities FIlm and Video Council have recently published a report designed to help establish new ctaloguing standards for audiovisual media. The guide, Audiovisual citation: BUFVC guidelines for referencing moving image and sound , is available for purchase and to download from the BUFVC website and is intended to establish standards for film, television, radio, other audio (such as archival recordings) and new media (including online materials, video games etc) . The guide assigns sections to each of the types of material explains the rules for, and gives plenty of illustrative examples of, referencing as well as advice on in text citation.
The guidelines are intended to encourage best practice, but aren't intended to be prescriptive and are open to feedback for future updates. The intention is to continue to respond, where necessary, to the needs of the user - taking in to account the development of new media platforms and technologies.
