摘要：A S most of you know by now, the American Dental Association Film Library has been developing an Audio-Visual Education Program that will be helpful to dental schools, as well as to practitioners and specialists in the field of dentistry. In its three years and four months of existence as a section of the Bureau of Library and Indexing Service, the film collection has grown from 34 titles and 108 prints to 125 titles and 510 prints. The 2 x 2 slide collection, most of which was inherited, consists of 26 series and 2,018 individual slides. The filmstrip collection, which is on dental health only, has seven titles. The radio transcriptions are still being circulated, but no attempt is being made at this time to increase the number of titles, since the whole question of their effectiveness in dental health education is being reviewed. How these materials are being circulated, i.e., the rental regulations, etc., I shall not discuss here, since they can be found in the booklet, Audio-Visual Materials in Dentistry, prepared by the American Dental Association Film Library, with which I hope all of you are familiar. How we discovered these sources, and the problems involved in obtaining these materials, will not be discussed here. Instead, I shall discuss those activities that are pertinent to your program.
