Those of you who know the Keeper of the Dregs and I know that we have an unreasonable affection for old educational and training films. Thanks to the Internet Archive, now all of us can find out via educational film whether or not librarianship is the right career choice:
Pleasant but serious male narrator: These racks and shelves contain a lot of books. Tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands -- perhaps millions. How do you feel about them? Do they mean something to you? Are they your friends?
So begins The Librarian, a 10-minute journey into a much simpler time in the history of libraries and information. There are a number of amusing moments in the film, especially if you happen to know anything about present-day libraries. Highly recommended for fans of educational films and librariana.
