Media Resources Software M E D L I B : An Electronic Media Library Management Software which automates cataloguing, classifying and storage and retrieval of Audio and Video Programmes include stockshots. Centres producing audio and video programmes, are faced with a daily problem of inventory of tapes and other non-print materials, storage and retrieval of programmes and stock shots for capsuling and production. It is essential for any production centre which cries out for computerization and yet, there seems to be no standard software for ready use.

Called MEDLIB, this software is a specially designed software on a Windows platform, fully Y2K compliant, easy to use, enables search on large number of parameters, from title, content, subject, producer, scriptwriter, etc. It also enables classification and cataloguing of stock shots, helps your media librarian in classification of programmes, inventory, issue and retrieval, preparation of progress reports and helps your producer to search for stock shots and determine quality of stored material. The software is priced at Rs 20, 000 for educational institutions. For your evaluation, M/ S INFOTEL, can provide you with a demonstration CD on request.
