It's often easier to determine the length of videotapes by fast forwarding. Audio is more complicated, but if you can at least determine that the recording continues on the second side of the tape, the tape length can be noted as "ca. 90 min."

 Copies and Duplicate material

We often keep copies or duplicates to use as listening/viewing copies.  These items should not be included in your finding aid.  When the materials are being passed on to Joanne for labeling and shelving, they should be banded together with the "original" with a note saying duplicate.  They will then get added to av/dctracker as copies and shelved on the second floor.
