Kate Theimer of ArchivesNext has graciously let me use her blog to respond 
to a post on the blog of AVPreserve.com, an archival audiovisual 
preservation firm in NY. The original post, entitled "Does the Creation of 
EAD Finding Aids Inhibit Archival Activities?" made the argument that 
creating EAD finding aids is a waste of resources for making audiovisual 
archives accessible. 

I ignored the post when it went up in May, but when it was highlighted in 
AVPreserve's recent newsletter, I started getting e-mails from colleagues 
who knew about our current CLIR project 
(http://www.aaa.si.edu/collections/projects/clir) involving processing and 
AV archives. So I finally took the bait.

Here's my response, in case anyone has an interest:
