UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS

STANLEY C. ROBINSONDEAN OF UNIVERSITY EXTENSION

All of us engaged in the business of educa-

tion are aware of the new tools developed

to help us do our job more efficiently and

effectively. We are certainly aware of the

increased enrollments in our classrooms and

the increasing amount of subject matter weare expected to teach. I firmly believe that

only as we learn to use these new educa-

tional tools expertly in the classroom will

we be able to adequately meet the increasing

demands placed upon us.

One of the most valuable new educational

tools is the motion picture. It has been

with us long enough to be properly evalu-

ated and its worth determined. However,

we must remember it is only a teaching tool

and must be used well by the teacher in

order to produce the results of which it is

capable. To this end, I suggest that every

school should own copies of the leading

audio-visual texts and subscribe to one or

more of the leading periodicals. In addition

to this, I would urge that teachers be en-

couraged to take training in audio-visual

utilization either in summer school or

through extension courses.

We all hope that the end results of our

teaching efforts are students who have

gained knowledge and comprehension of

the subject matter we teach. There is a

much better chance of success if we use as

teaching tools those with which the stu-

dents are familiar.

The Visual Aids Service at the University

of Illinois has one of the largest and finest

collections of educational films available on

a rental basis. Each year many new titles

and additional prints are added so that a

constantly higher percentage of requests

can be filled. In order to help us give you

the best service possible, I urge you to

follow the directions given in the first three

pages of this catalogue.

' Ul/rGENERAL INFORMATION

All films are 16mm sound films unless the film title is fol-

lowed by the notation (Silent).

The SUBJECT HEADING INDEX is an attempt to indi-

cate most of the broad areas within this catalogue, and the

SUBJECT INDEX lists the films most applicable within

these areas.

The DESCRIPTIVE INDEX OF FILMS is an alpha-

betical listing of film descriptions which, in addition to the

description, gives information regarding:

1. Producer or Depositor— In ( ) immediately following

title.

2. Grade suitability: p - primary; i - intermediate; j - junior

high; h-high school; c- college; a -adult.

3. Running time: 11 minutes; 15 minutes; etc.

4. Black and white and/or color.

5. Rental rate for basic rental period.

A $.15 charge is added to each film rental to cover postage

and insurance. The customer need not insure film shipments.

TO SECURE FILMS

Films may be rented from one to five days (Monday-Friday) at the same basic rental rate; two weeks for 1.2

times the weekly rate; three weeks for 1.5 times the weekly

rate; and four weeks for 2 times the weekly rate.

Beginning July 1, 1961, the following schedule for ex-

tended bookings will go into effect:

One School Week Basic Rental

Two School Weeks 1.5 X Basic Rental

Three School Weeks 2.0 X Basic Rental

Four School Weeks 2.5 X Basic Rental

Bookings will be made for a 2-day period unless otherwise

requested. Films must be returned no later than one day

following the date of last scheduled use. PLEASE SPEC-IFY EXACTLY THE DESIRED RENTAL PERIOD.

Order by title exactly as listed in this catalogue.

The Audio-Visual Aids Service feels that your film program

will benefit if you grant us permission to substitute a title

when the film you request is not available. The film substi-

tuted would be a film with similar content and grade

placement.

Give alternate dates if possible. Often the shift of a few

days or a week may make a film available for your use.

If films are available in both black and white and color,

indicate your preference.

Please give us specific mailing and billing instructions —school, audio-visual department, board of education, district

number, name. It helps to include a postal zone number.

Order on our booking request form, or, if on your ownletterhead, please double space— it cuts the booking time

in half.

Please list films in chronological order (in order of date of

use) — it also helps save booking time.

Check the confirmation slips you receive against your orig-

inal order, and notify us of any discrepancies.

Unless otherwise requested, all shipments will be by parcel

post.

CANCELLATIONS

Notice of cancellation must be received by the Audio-Visual

Aids Service at least 5 days BEFORE the shipping date

indicated on your confirmation slip. ONLY under this con-

dition will a cancellation of charges be allowed.

Films reserved for a "will call," and not picked up, will be

returned to circulation the following day, but charges will

not be cancelled.

LATE RETURNS

Bookings are made on the premise that films will be re-

turned promptly following their last scheduled date of use.

If the Audio-Visual Aids Service is forced to cancel a book-

ing because a film is held overtime without permission, the

cancellation charges will be added to the bill sent to the

customer holding: the film.

ACCOUNTS

You will receive a statement as soon as the last film on any

given order has been shipped. Payment should be madeupon receipt of statement. Whenever any payment is made,

it is important to state which invoice number is covered by

your check and return a copy of the invoice with your

remittance.

If your order to us covers several months and is $200 or

more, you will be billed monthly for the films used.

If neither of these plans is acceptable, please let us know.

FILM DAMAGE

Customers will not be charged for film damage unless it is

to a previously undamaged film. All other damage will be

absorbed by the Audio-Visual Aids Service.

TRAINING

The Audio-Visual Aids Service offers, on a request- basis, a

visitation and consultation service, primarily to schools, to

assist in planning and developing audio-visual programs.

One of the Service Directors can visit a school or community

for brief periods to assist in the solution of such problems

as in-service teacher training, selection of audio-visual mate-

rials and equipment, budget, starting an audio-visual pro-

gram, cataloguing, etc. It is also possible to organize an

Extension Class. Letters of inquiry are invited.

RENTAL RATES SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE

Occasionally this is necessary because of new editions,

change from black and white to color, previously deposited

prints which must now be purchased, or a price increase

on the part of the producer.

Please check the rental charges on your confirmation sheet.

Please feel free to inquire about any that do not conform to

catalogue rates.

guage.
