A WORD TO NEW BORROWERS As part of its information and education program, the United States Atomic Energy Commission maintains motion picture libraries from which qualified borrowers throughout the United States and Canada may obtain 16-mm, sound-track films which explain various aspects of atomic energy. All of these films are loaned free, and only for educational, non- profit, non-commercial screenings. Also, many are approved for use in unsponsored "public service" telecasts. In the catalog, there are 17 subject categories, which are listed in the Table of Contents. The films and cross references are listed alpha- betically within each category. As of September 1965, the 10 domestic USAEC Motion Picture Libraries stocked more than 172 different popu- lar titles covering a wide variety of atomic energy subjects. The films listed in this "Popular Level" catalog employ a general treatment to make them as widely understood as possible. In addition, for teacher selection of films best suited for students, the alphabetical listing of titles includes designations for elementary schools as (Group 1), for junior high schools and senior high schools as (Group 2), and for col- leges and above as (Group 3). The USAEC also has available for loan more than 191 other technical films which deal with specific scientific, technological, and engineering aspects of the atomic energy program. These "Professional Level" films are not generally suitable for students below the university level, nor for non-students other than professional scientists, engineers, and technologists. Persons interested in the more specialized films may obtain a copy of the "Professional Level" catalog by writing to the Audio-Visual Branch, Division of Public Information, U. S. Atomic En- ergy Commission, Washington, D. C. 20545; the Educational Services Branch, Division of Technical Information, U. S. Atomic Energy Com- mission, Washington, D.
