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
Only 16mm motion picture films have been listed in this Gxiide.
Part 1 is an inclusive eilphabetic title and subject list of current films for which we have been able to gather essential information such as title, running time, whether sound or silent, availability and main source. Complete information is given under the title entry.
Title entries are given in full capital letters (e.g. ANIMAL CUNNING); subject entries are in boldface type (e.g. Animal intelligence); series entries have the first word only in boldface type (e.g. Animal life series) and author entries have the last name only in boldface type (e.g. Shakespeare, WiUiam). Subject subdivisions are shown in italics. Subject, series and author entries have titles of films given below them in plain type. The numbers in heavy type which follow some of the titles refer to the classification numbers of Part 2.
References are given from a title or subject heading not used in the alphabetic list to the title or related subject heading which is used (e.g. Animal industry. See Livestock).
Part 2 is a selected classified list of recommended films, arranged according to the numbers of the Dewey Decimal classification, with critical as well as descriptive annotations.
Asterisks are used in both Part 1 and Part 2 to indicate "excellent" (*) and "outstanding" (t) films.
Title: The title of the film is given as listed by the producer.
Main source: The main source given is the one now owning or having access to the negative of the film, whether producer or sponsor, or the distributor which has been designated as the official or authorized agent. A Directory of Main Sources with addresses is at the back of this issue.
Date: The release date is given when obtainable.
Color: All films are black and white unless "color" is given to indicate kodachrome, technicolor, etc.
Price: Both sales and rental prices are furnished by the main source and are subject to change. An amount of money standing alone is the price for a sale or long term lease. A figure preceded by "rent" is the price for a short term loan, usually one day. "Loan" instead of price is indicative of a film sent free except for transportation charges. "Apply" instead of price has been used when rates and conditions vary and it is necessary to apply to main source for prices.
Grading: The symbols which have been used in Part 2 to indicate approximate grade levels at which films have been found useful are given in the key below.
Forum: Recommended for adult discussion.
Guide: "Guide" is used in Part 2 to indicate that a teaching guide or manual is available for use with the film. There is a small charge for some guides.
