This is an open access occupational film about the library profession, and becoming a librarian. It was shot in 1947, and I think it holds up quite well in the world of Web 2.0 and Library 2.0 (hehehe)
I would very much like to be a librarian. A specific field of a librarian (If granted the option) that I would most enjoy to be in is the reference department.
Growing up I've taking a liken to encyclopedias and reference books of all kinds. I read my first encyclopedia when I was five years old.
When I saw we had to watch a video on You Tube for class, I was pleasantly surprised. This video must have been made in the 50's or so! I vaguely remember watching videos in black and white, instructional, with narrative voice overs a looooong time ago. I got a kick out of seeing this! (And learned a little something too... ) :-)
I worked with a Librarian that SO loved books and hated people that he took a whole collection home out the door, never to be seen again.
