Abstract
Obviously by the very nature of the output of BBC Television, we hold a very wide range of programmes and are by no means a specialist Africa collection. Our specialism is the media. This paper covers the range of material we hold - age; subject; production source and formats and then looks briefly at the professional problems this material poses in terms of intake, storage and subject cataloguing and indexing. Finally, it gives you a brief introduction to the use made of the library.The Library's prime responsibility is to store and document BBC produced and transmitted programmes and any other footage that may be of reuse or archival value. However, the library is very closely involved in the production process, assisting production staff by documenting all their recordings as they are made and edited in the post production process right up to transmission.
