Summary: These procedures govern the project-based work of Rovi DVD review and cataloging handled by the Rovi unit, CatMan, and the CMS team.  This is separate from the Rovi DVD multi-disc project, though the two processes overlap at times.

These procedures include several different streams of Rovi materials: cataloging of new Rovi DVDs as well as grant-funded retrospective review/correction, both facilitated by CatMan, and also the systematic checking of Rovi DVD record quality by the Rovi unit. 

CatMan/Rovi unit review

• In their various Rovi DVD workflows, CatMan staff and the Rovi unit will:
  • Identify any existing records requiring review by inserting the following staff note in the item record:
