I’d mentioned this video to a few people over the past few weeks and assumed someone else had already uploaded it to YouTube. I looked this morning and I couldn’t find it so I uploaded my copy (after I converted the 101MB .mpg file (1MB over the upload limit) to a 17MB .wmv file, and crossed my fingers that the 10m 13s video would be allowed since the official length limit is 10m).

This is great! It’s a good piece of evidence regarding origins of the librarian stereotype which was obviously firmly in place at the time the film was created. Thanks for your work in getting it uploaded to YouTube and embedded in your blog.
