Archivists are nicer, more helpful, and more fashionable than librarians! Yea!

Great job!

(who's actually both a librarian and an archivist, but definitely enjoyed the spirit of the film)

Glad you enjoyed it!

I enjoyed the video but as a future librarian, I have to add another comment to the one I already posted yesterday.

Good librarians will point patrons to the information whether it's in their library or not.

Hopefully viewers will realize that the librarian in your video is a parody of the stereotype of an unfriendly librarian and not a representative of the profession as a whole.

Thanks for the entertainment!

I doubt that this short film will be construed as anything but a parody of stereotypes. I mean, very few archives have hissing cockroaches and human arms and fainting damsels, right?

Good information professionals are, of course, well aware of the materials contained in other collections, be they archives or libraries, and always strive to offer the best service possible to their patrons.

Therein, of course, lies the humor of the film!

At least you know the floors can take the weight? That's the most comforting thing I've been able to tell myself, anyhow.

Really! Everyone wonders why I'm in the basement.

[meowcat62]

Oh, I missed the hissing cockroaches! I mean, I saw the roaches but didn't notice the hissing - LOL.

Good film. Thanks again.

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
