The Book That Changed the World

  • Object description: This video (presented in partnership with HISTORY) is a short review of the Gutenberg Bible held in LOC. It was presented by the chief of the rare book and special collection division at the LOC Mark Dimunation.
  • Why we considered it: This video provided a short and concise presentation of the Gutenberg Bible held at the LOC. We included it in our collection to enhance the variety of the items types.
  • Standard used: The standard used for this video is not clear. From what we could experience handling LOC resources, the main metadata standard used by this institution is MARC. Even though we understand that is not the most appropriate element set to use with a video. We checked that one widely used is VRA Core 4.0, and we found another called EBUcore.
