| dc.description.abstract | This study investigated the preservation, accessibility and use of audio-visual records in selected television stations in Tanzania. The research was conducted in purposively selected television stations in Dar es Salaam, Mwanza and Iringa regions. It adopted an Open Archival Information System (OAIS) as a conceptual model. Population of the study included the staff working in television stations with sample size of 96 respondents. The study used a mixed method approach to collect data whereby questionnaire, interviews, documentary reviews and observation were used to collect data. The collected data were analysed using a Statistical Product and Service Solution (SPSS). The findings found that there was inadequate qualified personnel for audio-visual records management, inadequate equipment for AV preservation and accessibility, the application of active and passive strategies of records preservation, fast rate of technological development in audio-visual formats and equipment, insufficient policies for audio-visual records management and records users unawareness of their rights and responsibilities on access and use of audio-visual records. The findings also found some challenges which slow down effectiveness of the practices of audiovisual records preservation, accessibility and use that include challenges related to equipment and technological issues, financial aspects, personnel, internet connectivity, security, policy and organisational issues. Generally, the findings found that the practices of preservation, accessibility and use of audio-visual records in television stations are interdependent and important to the society, regardless of the prevailing challenges. The study recommends that, regular in-house and outdoor training be provided to audiovisual records management stafifj modem security equipment and techniques should be adapted and alternative sources of funds should be sought so as to enhance quality service provision. Records management professionals should be consulted for AVR policy formulation and policy-makers should review the National Records and Archives Management Policy of Tanzania so that it adequately suits the audio-visual records management. Finally, where possible, the government should subsidize cost of equipment for audio-visual records management for both the private and public television stations. | en_US |
