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.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE The arrangement is in accordance with the Dewey Decimal classi- fication. An Outline of the classification will be found on page viii which will serve as a table of contents. Title: The title of the film is given as listed by the producer. If a film is known by other titles cross references are made in the index to the title given. Length: Length is given in minutes when obtainable. Otherwise number of reels is given. Width: Width is given by the figures 16 and 35 and the abbreviation "mm" is omitted as our collaborators agreed that it was unnecessary. Sound: Sound films are indicated by the abbreviation "sd"; silent by "si". Stock: For the 35mm films inflammable is indicated by the abbreviation "f" and safety stock by "nf". Since all 16mm films are on safety stock these abbreviations have been omitted in the descriptions of these films. Price: The price given is usually the sales price. However, if the film is for rent only the word "rent" has been used before the price to indicate this. "Loan" instead of price is indicative of a film sent free except for transportation charges. Date: The copyright date is given when it was obtainable but in some cases the release date is given instead. A date followed by a question mark (e.g. 1929?) means that the date is probably the release date but definite and conclusive information was not obtainable. "Prior 1927" was taken from information given us by the American council on education. Producer: The producer or authorized distributor given is the one now owning or having access to the negative of the film. A list of producers is given following the Index. Distributor: If your local rental distributor does not have the film you want consult the producer for nearest source. Guide: "Guide" is used to indicate the guide for the teacher with which most films prepared for educational purposes are accompanied. INDEX The second part of the Catalog is arranged alphabetically. All films icluded in the Catalog can be found here under title and subject. KEY TO SYMBOLS
