  14 Organizing Moving Image Collections for the Digital Era
The Steven I. Goldspiel Memorial Research Fund was established in 1991, named in honor of the former president of Disclosure, Inc. (now known as Primark). The research fund is an endowment and projects are supported solely by investment income generated by the fund. The 1999 winners of the award were James M. Turner, Michele Hudon and Yves Devin from the Universite de Montreal. This month Information Outlook presents their findings, which looks at how moving image collections are labeled.
