Users are lost facing this labyrinth The users’ point of view

• At least 2 separate tools needed to access

archived media

• A part of the collection is not « self-service »

• Complex workflow and a lot of exception

From the archives point of view

• No overview of the entire archive collection

• No common referential metadata schema

• Training is needed for users & cataloguist

• How to deal with cross-media production ?
