CIL Editor Goes Hollywood
I picked up a copy of ALA Cognotes at the conference today, but it wasn’t until I actually started reading it back at my hotel that I realized how much I missed by not being here in time for the Friday evening premier screening of the movie “The Hollywood Librarian.” I gather from the photos on page 5 of Cognotes that there was an actual red carpet — and, wait, there at the top of the page is our own Computers in Libraries editor, Kathy Dempsey, wearing those over-sized movie star sunglasses. Although I rather suspect real movie stars don’t get their sunglasses from ProQuest.

Thanks, Marydee, for extending my 15 minutes of ALA fame. Too bad the picture didn’t do justice to the sparkling rhinestones on my movie-star glasses (which were not from ProQuest — some Cognotes editor must have made that up!).
For those who want to read more about The Hollywood Librarian film in terms of its attempts to break the old stereotypes, I’ve written about it in the July/August issue of my Marketing Library Services newsletter.
