THE NAEB TAPE NETWORK Prepared by Richard Rider NAEB Tape Network Manager University of Illinois, Urbana A CALL FOR PROGRAMS It was reaffirmed at the recent Purdue meeting of the program committees that one of the important functions of the tape network is the interchange of programs produced by member stations. This function presupposes that the menber stations will submit programs for use by the network. Our present purpose is to stimulate this latter process. In addition to regular programs the network needs in-school programs. While other sources are being investigated we are, at this time, coupletely dependent upon our member stations for in-school programs. It is only by sorting through many possible series that we can keep a high level of quality and achieve the diversified and balanced schedule which we all desire. We at headquarters and the members of the program committee can only listen to the programs which you send in, BRIEFLY: PLEASE SEND IN SOME PROGRAMS. We are starting to plan the fall offerings now. We plan to have the in-school committee select the next school programs at the IERT in Columbus. We hope to afford you the opportunity at Columbus to hear some of these programs. None of this is possible, of course, unless we receive some programs. The following points should be kept in mind* 1. Send to Network Headquarters? a. Prospectus of series showing number and titles of programs, time, talent, format, etc. b. Several representative programs for auditioning. c. Teacher’s manuals for school programs. 2. Be prepared to furnish us with original recordings of all programs accepted for use. 3. Headquarters returns or replaces all tapes submitted either for audition or distribution. iw It is desirable to have scripts, promotion materials and any other available infornation that would be helpful to stations using the programs. NEW WORD ON THE DUPLICATOR No sooner do we say soma thing about the mass duplicator than the little wheels spin and all is different. HOWEVER, (and I say the following advisedly) this time it looks like the real thingj L. S. Toogood, our original inspiration for mass duplication of tapes, has completed arrangements with Rawdon Smith Associates, of Washington, D.C., for the distribution of duplicators. The mechanical part is supplied by Toogood. Smith adds all the elec¬ tronic circuits, installs the machine, and checks it out to insure that it is perform¬ ing according to the desired standards. Lf present negotiations are completed on schedule we will have a duplicator by summer. By fall we can say goodby to the "bicycle network." We will, at long last, be in business.
