We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.
REASONS FOR THESE REQUIREMENTS
The reason why the Library requires that only approved projectors be used is for the protection of the films — which ultimately means the protection of members' interests.
With the ordinary use a certain amount of wear and tear on the films is inevitable. For such normal depreciation, members will not be held responsible. But if, through accident, carelessness or other causes, a film is damaged seriously, it is only right to expect that the cost of repairing the film should be met by the person who had it in his possession when the damage occurred. The standard charge for replacements is ten cents (10c) per foot, a minimum charge of $1.00.
The purpose of the overtime charge is to keep as many films as possible available for the use of members. The charge made by the Library is a nominal one — twenty-five cents (25c) per reel per day. When films are taken or forwarded to a place some distance away from Los Angeles, ample time will be allowed for the delivery and the films must be returned the day following receipt so no overtime will be charged.
The future success of the Library depends largely on the support of our advertisers. Reports giving the nurnbers of persons who view the films will be furnished to these advertisers so that they will know exactly what benefits they are obtaining.
For the benefit of those who are not able or desirous of coming to the Library in person, a delivery and pick-up service has been provided. Members wall pay transportation charges both ways. Arrangements have been made whereby members will be given the benefit of exceptionally low transportation rates to all points in the six counties w^hich this Library will service.
If desired, films may be returned to the Library by mail. For this purpose a convenient shipping sticker is enclosed in each film container.
Films may be ordered by mail, telephone or telegraph, in which case alternate lists can be given. The Library reserves the right to substitute films deemed suitable in case the films ordered are in circulation. Members will, of course, pay all telephone and telegraph charges.
For members who desire to have films at regular periods, the Library oflFers a special service to forward the films on these specified dates, eliminating the necessity of requesting film on each of these dates by the member.
While every precaution will be taken to insure the arrival of the films at the specified time, the Library will not be responsible for unavoidable delays.
It is altogether conceivable that there will br times when manv. or even all of the films, will be in use at the same time. Under such conditions reservations for films will be accepted i": the order filed.
