    Abstract: The present invention generally relates to computers and software, and more particularly, to web-based cataloging of audio, video, and print media in a single server-side data store that can be accessed from any machine with an internet connection and the required OS and browser versions. Specifically, the present invention can provide for the creation of a custom web site, accessible through an internet connection, portal, or server, such as for example, DG Online, that allows everyone involved in a project, such as for example, an advertising effort, to view, catalog, and archive the media, i.e. the ads, including audio, video, and print media. The invention also provides the option of an Archive as electronic storage, integrated with web-based search capabilities, to ensure that ads can be located easily. The invention also may optionally provide on-line order forms to allow media, such as broadcast ads, to be easily and quickly pulled from archive and processed for delivery.
