Helen Oustinoff.
She found a way to order 

and process books faster with 
the Polaroid CU–5 Camera.

Polaroid®



Helen Oustinoff is Assistant Director of the 
University of Vermont Library. She has de­
veloped a remarkable new system for proc­
essing books, utilizing our Polaroid CU-5 
Close-up Land Camera.

No more checking or transcribing
Here’s how her system works: When a 

book purchase request slip is received, the 
searcher looks up the book in the National 
Union Catalog or another standard bibliog­
raphy. Just as always. But she doesn't 
bother to correct or complete the slip. She 
simply photographs the entire N.U.C. entry 
with the CU-5 Camera.

We make that sound very easy. It is. You 
just center the CU-5's frame over the entry 
and squeeze the trigger. Pull the tabs and 
15 seconds later you have an enlarged print 
of the whole thing. (Like the one below.) 
Isn’t that easier than copying by hand? And 
faster? And more accurate?

No handwriting to decipher
Now the book order slip is typed from the 

Polaroid print. And the print is then filed 
away with a carbon of the typed order.

If the original entry happens to be in He­
brew, or something else untypable, you can 
simply shoot an extra print and send it along 
with the order.

When the book is received, it ’s checked 
against the print and the invoice is cleared.

No waiting for catalog cards
Who needs preprinted catalog cards? With 

this new system, you make your own. Using 
the Polaroid print as a guide, you can type 
them on an automatic typewriter. Or simply 
add necessary information to the print and 
run it through a copying machine.

The system also gets books into circula­
tion faster because it eliminates waiting for 
preprinted cards. It also eliminates the job 
of ordering them. And the cost.

For more information about the time and 
cost saving features of this library system, 
write to: Polaroid Corporation, Dept. 113, 
Cambridge, Mass. 02139.

And if you have any suggestions as to new 
uses for our CU-5 Camera, send them along.
