Abstract: A non-theatrical film library is more than an exchange. It performs all the functions with and gives practically all the information about films that a library gives about books. Not only must it furnish films for entertainment but for instruction, reference and special purposes. The films must be organized into courses to meet these various needs. To do this there must be a competent editorial department to cut, select and catalog. A description of each film must be written, which will completely but briefly and accurately give the information which a customer needs in order to be sure that films meet his purposes. Not only this, but the librarian must be thoroughly in sympathy with the problems of the non-theatrical field.
