Because most people select videos by subject, this list
classifies RSC videos into nine major subject categories. Many could fit into
more than one category and where another emphasis is strong, they’re
cross-referenced into a second category to aid in your selection. The basic
category definitions are: Access (AC) Mostly refers to architectural accessibility, but may
include some portions which deal with other interrelated aspects of access for
people with disabilities, such as transportation or employment. Attitudes (AT) May deal with attitudes of the non-disabled public or
groups of the public toward people with disabilities, or with the attitudes of
people with disabilities toward themselves and/or their disabilities. Biographical/Personal Experience (B) May tell a person’s life story or relate personal
experiences of one or more people featured in the video. Employment (E) Relates various positive aspects of the employment of
people with disabilities. Mental Health/Mental Retardation (M) Includes mental health, mental
retardation or behavioral videos. Other (O) A miscellaneous category for videos in which the major
emphasis does not fit into any other category listed here. Videos concerning the
Americans with Disabilities Act have been placed in this category. Physical (P) Includes videos about specific physical disabilities. Technology (T) Explains and explores various technological advances to aid
people with disabilities. Visual/Hearing (VH) Includes videos dealing with vision, visual aids, visual
impairment, blindness, and deafness or hearing impairment and communication. Vocational Rehabilitation/Rehabilitation(VR) Relates specifically to the vocational or other
rehabilitation of people with disabilities. All videos are
cleared for public showing, but not for television use. There is no charge for
use of the videos other than their return by insured First Class mail or UPS. Please do not
duplicate any video - most are copyrighted and duplicating is illegal. All
videos are 1/2” VHS. Do not loan videos to anyone else. You are the person
responsible for returning the videos to RSC on time. Videos are only available for loan to people/agencies
within If the video is damaged in any way, either when you receive
it or while in your possession, please note the damage on the card enclosed in
the mailing carton when you return it. This will allow us to know what needs to
be repaired so that the next person to borrow the tape does not receive a
damaged video. Videos will be sent to you via UPS, so the address to which
they are to be sent should be one where there will be someone to receive them.
Because of the demand for many of these videos, it is imperative that
they be returned immediately following use. The address card on the
mailing case can be flipped over to show the proper return address. You may use
