On Disk Library for Secondary Schools

INTRODUCING THE FILM ARCHIVE SECONDARY SCHOOLS LIBRARY

OFFICIAL RELEASE DATE AUGUST 16 2006

The Film Archive has completely overhauled its existing On Tape library as part of a shift to digital format. 32 titles from the original On Tape menu have been chosen for transfer to multi-chaptered, multi-menu-ed DVD packages. While the original 32 titles on video had a total duration of 26 hours, the newly formatted DVD library has expanded to 75 hours, with many titles requiring more than one disk to accommodate new footage.

On Disk programmes are available in English/Media Studies, History, Geography, Social Studies and Art/Art History. Visit the contents page for a complete 2006 library titles and subjects listing.

Coupled with the new disk library are extra components appearing on our Education web pages. The package available with each On Disk title web listing will include online teacher’s booklet, and in many cases one of a growing collection of excellent online units written and tested by teachers that align directly with On Disk content. See the Online Units page for the growing menu of support material.

The reassessment of titles has attempted to reflect more accurate linking with NCEA requirements, teacher assessment and the input of a new Advisory Group.

The new library will be absolutely free (no hireage or postage levy), and when ordering online teachers can expect a package to arrive anywhere in New Zealand within 48 hours. The period of loan has been increased to four weeks, and in the case of programmes with a long duration, a renewal is achieved simply by notifying ondisk@nzfa.org.nz before the due return date (subject to availability).

Changes to the library format are outlined below.
