We
need your help. Other forms
of media are quickly replacing slide film and projectors. Please let us know whether you or
your group would be more interested in viewing shows on Video, CD’s or
DVD. DVD is the newest
technology and has the advantage over CD’s of having the sound stay in
sync with the slides.
Also,
would you or your club, domestic or overseas, have an interest in
buying our slide shows for $10 if they were on a CD or a DVD?
See
booking form
or let us know directly at the email address below.
How
to Book Slide Show programs
Print Out Order Form
Use this link (
Slide Show Order Form) to print out the slide show
order form. It is in Acrobat reader format (pdf file), and includes
this entire page, including the list of available slide
shows. Furnish as many as three meeting dates with up to five (5)
program choices total. Send it to the
address shown in the form. Please include your email
address, or include a self-addressed, stamped #10 envelope. A confirmation will be sent to you
ASAP. Please expect secondary
choices in some few cases.
Fees
If the programs are booked at least
two months in advance, a payment of $5.00 per program must accompany
your request. If bookings are
made less than two months in advance, please add another $2.00 per
program to offset the costs of sending the programs by first class mail. No bookings can be accepted
less than 30 days in advance. Programs
are normally sent by Library Rate, about $1.75 currently, and are
insured for $50.00 for another $1.30. These
are, of course, subject to change. Programs
can be sent first class if appropriate postage and insurance fees are
paid in advance.
At this time, the slide programs are
intended for use by ATA Members as well as other interested parties in
the fifty states and Puerto Rico only. We
cannot honor foreign requests. However, please let
us know if you or your group, whether in the USA or overseas, would be
interested in obtaining these shows on a CD, DVD or Videotape. Enter this on the survey at the
bottom of the form. It
is very important, as it allows us to know whether we can justify
placing our slide shows on newer media.
Returning
Programs
Please complete the questionnaire
form included with each program and return it with all the slides,
script sheets and audio cassettes (if included) within a day following
the showing. Please use the
enclosed mail label. Note
that it is not a prepaid label.
You must pay the library rate and the
insurance fee for the value of $50.00. Please
keep in mind that the normal time it takes the package to be sent
within the continental US is ten days. Late
returns will be assessed a $3.00 penalty as some other club may miss
getting the program if you are late.
A
Few Friendly Suggestions
We will include a few copies of the
ATA membership forms with each program sent.
Please hand these out personally to
others in your club who are not ATA members.
Remember that you can qualify for a
discount in your dues by getting new members to join the ATA. We are always looking for new
programs as well as updating old ones. Many
of our programs are quire old. We
invite you to submit your proposal and offer the finished program as a
contribution to the ATA. It
is less expensive to make multiple copies than to copy slides later.
Show times vary, but as a rule, allow
approximately 30 - 60 seconds per slide. Audiotape
use may shorten programs. Thank
you for using the ATA Slide Program Service.
