FILM AND EDUCATION TABLE I. KINDS OF UNIVERSITY AND COLLEGE FILM LIBRARIES ACCORDING TO PRIMARY FUNCTION AND AREA OF SERVICE* Kind of Film Library Number Per Cent 1. Film libraries which serve the institution only. 5 6 2. Film libraries which "produce-distribute." 4 5 3. Film libraries which serve more than one state. 19 25 4. Film libraries which serve one state only. 26 34 5. Film libraries which serve part of a state. 23 30 TOTAL 77 100 By far the largest category of film libraries, eighty-nine per cent of the number for which definite information was obtained, is made up of regional or state distributing centers. It seems expedient to classify these libraries according to the kind of territory which they serve. Thirty-five per cent of the reporting film libraries indicated that their service was limited to one state. Thirty per cent of these libraries indicated a part of a state as their area of service. Twenty-five per cent designated service territories of several states. The university extension division libraries comprise the greatest number of those distributing centers which serve one or more states. The film libraries in the state teachers colleges serving contiguous territories comprise the largest percentage of those centers which serve a part of .a state. Among this state teachers college group a recent development of interest and significance is the establishment of film libraries in which films for distribution to the public schools are deposited by the state department of education as a part of a state-wide audio-visual program.6 * This classification is made merely to point up the primary function of existing libraries and does not imply that regional or state distributing centers produce no films for sale, or that they do not serve departments of their own institutions. 6 Notably in the states of Virginia and Louisiana.
