I use the scanned materials partly for research--the release calendars in publications such as "Motion Picture News" are invaluable, and accessing them this way is much more convenient than trying to look up everything I need at the Library of Congress during twice yearly visits there. These materials are also just fun, fascinating reading. I can spend hours leafing through these publications. The service you are providing is wonderful, and well worth supporting!

We sent four volumes of MPN (of three months each), and there were problems in the metadata records (since corrected) and in some of the scans. I expect the corrected volume will be up sometime next week. It is quite common for there to be little problems, so it is a good idea to wait a week or two before downloading the PDFs. The read-online version is updated automatically. Can you give us any info on how you use the material we scan? Research, teaching, just fun reading?
