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.
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 ROARS AND UPROARS or FELIX IN THE BONE AGE special handling and special delivery." Abbreviated as outlined above, this message would read :
"Monday sagi orsaga orsabur andgade orgaca ornafa handling 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.
By our record system the same subject is never sent twice to the same subscriber unless the subscriber states clearly that he wishes it again for a second showing.
To avoid disappointment by delays in parcel post transmission, it is better when ordering subjects either by letter or by wire, to allow at least one extra 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 subscriber to make such reservation a week or two in advance, requesting definite acceptance if possible.
Kodascope Library subjects may be purchased for $50.00 per reel from the Parent Library in New York only. Reels sold are not returnable.
