What is the IMAP Cataloging Template?
The IMAP Cataloging Template is a database structure originally designed to allow small institutions and individuals with unique collections of film, video or audio and no trained staff to catalog their collections in a standardized fashion. The Template is also invaluable for archivists, librarians and museum specialists to catalog their media collections. The Template comes in two versions. One is a FileMaker Pro version (5.0 or higher), which works on either Mac or Windows platforms. The second is a Microsoft Access version that works only on Windows-based machines. The Template adheres to MARC standards as closely as possible, given the differences in database architecture.
