Re: movies and archives



I believe Desk Set is the wonderful Tracy-Hepburn movie in which there is an attempt, in the early 1950's, to computerize an office which provided reference service on all subject to the public. (This was before Google.)

What is Desk Set? I haven't heard about that one.

This film as well as Desk Set seem to have become "required" viewing at
UofMich's School of information.  When I was there a couple of years ago
students from the Internet Public Library class would hold a showing of
both Party Girl and Desk Set as well as an episode of Buffy. ;)
