From the program:
"Feel the excitement of the Shanachietour 2007, the librarians’ road movie highlighting best practices in libraries across the US. Hear about the experiences. See the movie. Be inspired."
So what happens when three Dutch librarians drive across the US talking to people about library services? We're going to find out.
Some highlights from the film and their talk:
- A guy dressed up as the Statue of Liberty explaining that there will be no libraries in the future because he trusts the internet for his informational needs
- They found WiFi plentiful through their travels. Except for in Nebraska.
- An interview with Matt Gullet of Charlotte Mecklenburg Public Library discussing the nature of information formats
You can see the show (it was done as a series of episodes) and read the accompanying blog here.
