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.
In other words, films ordered for a particular date cannot be used both on the particular date and also on one or more previous (or following) days, without paying for all the days on which the films are used.
Members are urged to fill in the spaces on the return label showing the date on which the films were sent back to the Library. This date is accepted by the Library as a basis for billing and careful attention to this important detail will avoid misunderstandings.
Mail orders will be acknowledged if requested.
Ordering Films By Telegraph
Members in good credit standing can always order Library subjects by telegraph with the assurance that such orders will receive immediate and careful attention, if received in time to be filled during regular office hours.
In order to shorten these telegrams, we have prepared a code which can be easily used.
If the subjects are desired for showing on a certain day, it is only necessary to mention the day of the week as the first word in the message.
For each subject selected, at least two alternates should be listed, and for such
alternates the code word should be prefixed with "or" both written as a
single word. For each additional subject wanted the code word should be prefixed with "and" both written as a single word.
If the subjects are ordered by telegraph on very short notice, so that it is doubtful if they can reach their destination by ordinary parcel post, the subscriber who wishes to avail himself of the advantages of "Special Delivery" (which includes Special Handling) can signify such attention by using the single word "Delivery."
As an example of the advantages of this abbreviated system of ordering, take the following ordinary telegraphic form:
"Please ship me for showing Monday evening Little Church Around the Corner or Where the North Begins or Heart of a Hero and Adventurer or Easy Street or Felix in the Bone Age special delivery."
Abbreviated as outlined above, this message would read:
"Monday sagi orsaga orsabur andgade orgadu ornafa delivery."
In ordering by wire, do not forget that to avoid disappointment or substitution, it is necessary to select alternates, or if you prefer to leave the selection of substitutes to the Librarian, add the single word "Substitute." This the Librarian will understand to mean that you wish a substitute from the same class of subjects in which the selected subject is not available.
To avoid disappointment by delays in transit, it is better when ordering subjects either by letter or by wire, to allow at least one day more than would usually be necessary for ordinary parcel post transmission.
If a particular subject is desired and no alternate or substitute will be acceptable, then it is desirable for the member to make such reservation a week or two in advance, requesting definite acceptance if possible.
With a few exceptions Kodascope Library subjects may be purchased. Prices will be quoted on application. Reels sold are not returnable.
