The bibliography is organized into four sections: "Titles and Descriptions," "Grade and Unit Index," "Media Index" and "Distributor Directory."
Titles and Descriptions
Titles are listed alphabetically. The citations provide bibliographic information, sources, annotations, and suggestions for use. The abbreviation hdc. denotes hardcover edition and pbk. denotes paperback edition. ISBN is an abbreviation for International Standard Book Number, which can usually be used as an order number. Dup. is an abbreviation for duplication which means that the video is available for duplication from Media House Productions. Unp. means that the book is not paginated. N.d. means that the publication is not dated. Ed. stands for editor or edition (depending on the context). (CAN) preceding the annotation indicates that the author or producer is Canadian; (SK) denotes Saskatchewan; and (I/M) indicates that the material has substantial Aboriginal, Inuit or Métis content.
