With a fellow librarian and our current trainee I visited the video library of GMTV. Current head Pete Fox gave us a rundown of what his job involved. We got to take a look at the software they use and how they conduct searches for footage (all recent clips are online). We also saw the cupboards of old videos that were not yet digitised (and probably never will be). It was very interesting talking to someone faced with the same problems (staff cuts, no money) as us and working in the same field (all be it slightly more show biz).
