Vicky Maloy Academic Technology Librarian From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Widzinski, Lori Sent: Wednesday, January 02, 2013 1:02 PM To: '[email protected]' Subject: [Videolib] nurses in film Anyone have suggestions for films that portray nurses, both good and bad? A faculty member is looking for films for undergraduate nursing students to "compare and contrast core values, professionalism, and comportment with representations of nurses/nursing in film media." I think she's interested in both feature films and documentaries. Your help is greatly appreciated. I'd be happy to post the resulting list if anyone's interested. THANKS.

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
