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.
HOW TO USE THIS CATALOGUE Organization The films are listed in alphabetical order, according to title, under the topics which they best illustrate. At the end of each topic there are cross references to other films which relate to this topic. The full an- notation to these films will be found under the topic for which they are primarily suited. The Reviews Each review consists of three parts. The heading gives the title, length, whether silent or sound, distributor, copyright date, cost, whether accompanied by a handbook, and the grade level suitability. The first paragraph gives a synopsis of the film. The first sentence in this paragraph indicates the general nature of the film. The film content is described in the order in which the scenes appear on the screen. The content of each film is noted separately to aid those who desire to use only a portion of the entire production. The second paragraph contains an evaluation of the film for social studies purposes. The first word or so in this sentence stands out in bold type to indicate the judgment formed concerning the film. Sugges- tions are then given for using the film. The Title The title given is that which appears on the film. Where more than one title has been used with the film, this fact is noted. Length The length of each film is given in terms of reels. The average run- ning time of a full length silent reel is fifteen minutes. A sound film requires ten minutes for projecting one reel. A 16 mm. reel averages four hundred feet in length. This information will help the teacher in planning the film lesson. Sound or Silent The symbols Si. and Sd. are used for silent or sound films. Where films are available in both types, both symbols are given. 64
