Donghua University is a national key university specializing in textile and clothing. The Clothing Video Database developed by the library of Donghua University has largely enriched the digital resources of the university and improved the library’s capacity and level of service. This article describes the methods and procedures of establishing the Database, introduces the idea of presenting the videos and their explanation documents on the same interface, and elaborates the feasibility and importance of providing users with a multi-angle combination of resources. We also discuss problems appeared in the development of the Database, their corresponding solutions, and our future plans.
