Keeping a library across projects

Lesson 10 of 10 in Moodboards and references.

Lesson

A studio's reference library is an asset that compounds, and it is almost always somebody's personal collection that nobody else can search. Making it shared is a decision about how the studio works rather than a filing exercise.
