TV Description Heading
Caution: always check if the appropriate heading already exists in the controlled index. If you are certain that the heading is not in the list, you can create a new one. See ‘How to create a new heading’, p. 11.
Follow the general guidelines for Film Description Headings.
Note: The TV Database has an additional field: the TV Info Heading used to indicate series and mini-series.
For TV series, use abbreviation SE in TV Info field / no directors are indicated.
e.g. SIX FEET UNDER (US, 2000-2005) SE TV Series
For mini-series, use abbreviation MS in TV Info field and give director’s name
For example:
Note: Feature-length television films and documentaries (over 60 minutes) are usually created in the film section.
Subject Heading
Caution: always check if the appropriate heading already exists in the controlled index. If you are certain that the heading is not in the list, you can create a new one. See ‘How to create a new heading’, p. 11.
If the article is about a general subject, make a subject entry. Use capital letters: e.g. GENDER AND THE CINEMA.
As in corporate name headings, the subject headings include both film and television subjects. Certain subject headings exist in both film and television: e.g. ADAPTATIONS. Please make sure to select the name followed by (F Film) if you are indexing a film related article.
Caution: If you create a new subject heading, you have to fill in the medium field
(F or T).
Example of a drop-down list following a search for ‘comic strip’:
Note that non-preferred entries are always in lower case: e.g. Books and the cinema (F Film). If you select a non-preferred term, it will automatically be replaced by the preferred one: e.g. Books and the cinema (F Film) will be replaced by LITERATURE AND THE CINEMA (F Film).
If more than one subject is required, click on the button to add an extra line.
Please note that most subject headings have country subdivisions. Use these subdivisions when the article refers to a specific country or region, for example:
INDUSTRY, FILM/SWEDEN
FESTIVALS/CANNES. 2015
Other types of subdivisions include:
ADAPTATIONS. SHAKESPEARE, WILLIAM
SPAIN: CATALONIA
Note: A list of the film subject headings is also available at the FIAF website. We recommend that you use this Word version (updated quarterly) when you are indexing in FIAFCat. If you feel that there is no adequate subject heading, feel free to create a new heading in the Subject Database.
For more information on the thesaurus relations in the Subject Database and the Word version see p. 36.
Web Page Order
This field indicates the sorting order of an online article without pagination (Web [n.p.] in the Page field). Since article records linked to an issue record are usually sorted by page number, this field is necessary to encode the order of appearance of an online article, based on its publication on the Web.
Example of an article record which appears as the 9th article of ‘Senses of Cinema’ 77:
Completing the issue
Adding other article records
After the article entry is completed, save and then close the window. You return to the issue window. To create a new article entry for the same issue, click on New Article and follow the instructions for ‘Creating an article record’, p. 8 and ‘Filling in the article record’, p. 12.
To see a list of the articles already created for this specific issue, click on the link for the Article Database. FIAFCat will list all the existing article records for this issue. To view another article record, simply click on the link.
Caution: A newly created article record is not automatically included in the links under the issue record. Because this is a web based system, you need to refresh the links in two steps. Clicking on Article Database will hide the article records.
Clicking again will reload the most recent version and the records will be visible.
Example of an issue record with linked article records:
Select Issue
At any time, you can edit existing article records or add new records for an existing issue. You can look up the issue record by clicking on Select Issue (see p. 5).
