HOW THIS HANDBOOK IS ORGANIZED Films are classified by courses listed in the Table of Contents. Some of the subjects which are being distributed have established them- selves as having a permanent place in the class materials of some of the subject matter areas. These films, 1 classified as List I under each subject listed, were selected on the basis of growing demand over a period of years. In List II the films have been grouped for which the demand has been less, either because of seasonal appropriateness or because of the relatively short time during which the film has been available. Others listed here have been available for a longer time but have not had large volume of distribu- tion because of limited but nevertheless significant educational usefulness. New subjects added since the publication of the previous edition of the catalog in April, 1952 are indicated by a star (*). HOW TO USE THIS HANDBOOK The topical Table of Contents at the beginning and an Alphabetical Index at the end make it easy for teachers to locate subjects. No appraisals are given. The usefulness of any film can be measured only by classroom experience and in terms of learning results. It is urged that film librarians license prints only after careful preview by teachers who can evaluate the materials in terms of their needs. In addition to previewing, it is recommended that films under consid- eration be tried in the classroom before the order is placed for licensing by the film library. City and county libraries may do this by renting prints in advance from the state university library or by making use of preview prints available from Teaching Film Custodians, Inc. Prints will be furnished for preview and appraisal without charge other than the return transportation. The list of subjects which film libra- rians or administrators desire to examine should be sent to Teaching Film Custodians, Inc., 25 West 43rd Street, New York 18, N. Y. Preview prints should be returned express prepaid, and films which have been selected should be indicated in a purchase order or covering letter. In many instances used preview prints may not be available and new prints will be provided for preview purposes. In such instances the new prints need not be returned but may be retained in the evaluating library and a purchase order submitted to cover the license. This will save delay and transportation costs to the licensing library. PROCEDURE FOR LICENSING Copies of the license agreement will be sent to the film administrator when arrangements for licensing are initiated. This agreement must be executed and returned before films can be shipped for license. The license agreement is general in form and covers not only the subjects acquired through the orig- inal purchase order but also any additional subjects subsequently licensed.
