Your Life Work: The Librarian

10 minutes of dated, awkward, industrial film weirdness promoting the profession. Very entertaining.

I sort of liked this film. Other than being dated, it did cover all the bases and had quite a bit on special libraries–unusual in most library career promotional stuff. Of course men were shown in management, but that’s the way it was then. It would be nice if ALA updated it–most of the dialog could be the same, the film would have to be totally redone.

This was too funny for words! I adored it–so campy. I loved the part

about the highly paid administrator!

Quite a commentary about post war culture, whiteness, gender roles,

and government media.

Where do I buy those clothes and dress up for Halloween?
