fingertip media allows multiple users to easily maintain a comprehensive inventory of all media (e.g., D2,  VHS, CD, disk files), media contents, and media storage locations.  This means that questions such as:

 

"What tape has that segment on ....?", or

"Which tapes were used by . . .?", or

"Who has it and when is it due back?"

 

can now be easily answered.  No more searching under desks to find things.  No more reviewing multitudes of media to find the segment that you want.  No more searching old notes and emails to see what was used and/or needed by an organization, department, or customer.

In addition to answering these and other questions, fingertip media can also be used to prepare and plan.  Provide lists of what is available to your users or customers.  Determine the effort required to produce new compilations by reviewing what's been done.
