<br>Coming soon: new guidelines on audiovisual citationAudiovisual Citation:
Guidelines for referencing sound and moving image resources<br>
Despite the exponential increase in the use of audiovisual material in
teaching, learning and research in higher and further education,
existing guidelines for the referencing of sound and moving image are
insufficient as they are based on standards developed for the written
word. This has the effect of discouraging the citing of sound and moving
image, as well as creating barriers in its discovery, use and re-use.<br>
<br>
In 2011, the British Universities Film & Video Council (BUFVC)
established a citation working group comprised of academics,
researchers, journal editors, archivists and representatives from the
British Library to address this key issue. Since 2012 this
ground-breaking work has been incorporated into the BUFVC Shared
Services Project, funded by the Higher Education Funding Council for
England (HEFCE).<br>
<br>
The guidelines will cover: film, television programmes, radio
programmes, audio recordings, DVD extras including interviews and
commentaries, clips, trailers, adverts, idents, stings, non-broadcast
material (catalogued and not catalogued), podcasts, vodcasts and DVD
study materials.<br>
<br>
The guidelines have been shaped by the diversity of sound and moving
image materials requiring citation and will be open to future updates to
ensure they effectively respond to advances in technology, development
of new media platforms and the needs of the user.<br>
<br>
The citation standards will be robustly tested prior to publication and
will be applicable to a wide range of different users across all
disciplines.<br>
<br>
Timescale<br>
The citation guidelines for sound and moving image will be published in March 2013 and reviewed periodically.<br>

Expert quote<br>
". . . there is not yet a uniform set of citation standards in education
for quoting and referencing either moving images or recorded sound. For
academics to gain greater confidence in the use of moving image and
sound content in research and publication, they will require the
standardisation of citation and the assurance that collections will hold
material and sustain collections on the same basis as print material."<br>
