Methods, systems, and subsystems for identifying and accessing multimedia content are provided. In one embodiment, a system is disclosed for identifying and accessing video files from a network based on information about contents of the video files. The system includes instructions stored on computer readable media, and the instructions perform the following steps when executed by a processor: (a) automatically entering subject matter data from the network into an encyclopedic database; (b) automatically distilling data from the encyclopedic database to create a user library content file; (c) allowing multiple clients to search data in the user library content file to identify at least one video file on the network and to access the at least one video file on the network using at least one reference file; (d) restricting the clients from accessing the encyclopedic database; and (e) restricting search results based on profile settings for each of the clients.
