ACT SECTION 97 — AUDIO-VISUAL AIDS

The Audio-Visual Aids Library Committee is a permanent committee in the Department of the Operations Vice-President. The purpose of the committee is to solicit and develop new audio-visual shows related to caves and caving, to encourage the dissemination of information about caves and caving through audio-visual aids, and maintain the shows. Audio-visual library materials will be distributed by the NSS Office. Fees will be charged for the use of library materials and will be expected to cover the normal operating and maintenance costs of the library.

The NSS Office may distribute materials in the Audio-Visual library to NSS members and non-NSS individuals for use in programs conducted for non-NSS organizations. The Audio-Visual Aids Library Committee may identify those programs which are considered suitable for viewing by such groups and has the authority to refuse distribution of programs for showing to non-NSS organizations when it considers that the programs requested tend to promote or glorify the sport of caving, or when it believes that the quality of the program is such that it will reflect poorly on the Society. The Operations Vice President will establish surcharges for programs not furnished through NSS Members.

The Cave Video Committee may sell video programs which are the property of the NSS to NSS members and non-NSS individuals via the NSS Book Store. Sale prices shall be determined by the Cave Video Committee, subject to review by the Operations Vice-President and shall not be less than the cost of materials and distribution plus a reasonable profit for the NSS. Advertising and sales income from video programming shall accrue directly to the Audio/Visual Program Fund restricted budget and shall be in addition to the operating budget. Advertising shall be in accordance with Appendix AC.

The I-Max Film Committee is dissolved and its functions are assumed by the TV/Video Production Committee in the department of the Administrative Vice President. The members of the I-MAX Committee become members of the TV/Video Production Committee.
