Thanks again, Michelle From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Michelle Ehlert Sent: Friday, March 01, 2013 1:58 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Videolib] Films about seeking information? Hello, I'm posting this for a liaison colleague - Can anyone think of a movie where the plot has a strong theme of seeking information or searching for the answer to something? Problem solving through evidence, etc? Preferably a high-brow or classic type movie. This is for a professor who likes to use classic movies to illustrate certain academic concepts. 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.
