Educational screen & audio-visual guide (c1956-1971])

Educational Film Library Association across all subject and age level classification in film use makes it particularly concerned with the improvement of standards for all types of films and other audio-visual materials. What EFLA wants might be summarized as "More and better films — and more and better ways to use them." In order to give everyone a chance to make a thorough examination of the Trade Show, and still get back to work (or vacation) by Monday morning, EFL.\ will open its meeting on Thursday morning, and will close with a special summary luncheon on Saturday. The Trade Show will be open on Saturday afternoon for the special benefit of EFLA members. Our special guests this year are from the fields of mental health and conservation. We will also have a section on religious film use. These sections will provide an opportunity for audio-visual directors, film librarians, producers, and distributors to exchange ideas on the increase and improvement of audio-visual use in these important areas. The "Do-It-Yourself" Sideshow was such a success last year that it is being repeated by popular demand, with some new and intriguing demonstrations. We have more space for the Side Show this year, and can provide better facilities.
