Attention World - Librarians Get RSS!!

December 6th, 2004

Even though this appeared on a TV movie that seems to be getting mixed reviews from librarians (I didn’t watch it), the news of the year is that RSS was mentioned in last nights broadcast of “The Librarian”. You heard that right folks. RSS on national TV from a character playing a librarian. Probably the first of its kind. (Chris Pirillo has the scoop, plus a link to the MP3 version of the dialogue).

This is great press for librarians everywhere. It shows that we are techie, and way ahead of the curve. Forget about the commentary on stereotypes. I want to know who at TNT (or the person who wrote the screenplay) knew enough to equate librarians with RSS?! Library bloggers: We are doing a great job getting this stuff out there. Keep it up!!!
