Help me gather examples of how libraries and librarians are portrayed in film. Libraries and librarians are frequently depicted in film, but what are they used to represent or symbolize?
Libraries are often depicted as places where individuals (especially detectives in crime films) find information which helps them solve problems or mysteries.
Examples include China Town (detective uses property records), Never Ending Story and adventure films such as Indiana Jones and the Mummy.
Do you have other examples?
Librarians are often depicted as experts who help users find difficult to locate information. They are shown as two contrasting types: older 'stereotypic' librarians (older, conservatively dressed women) or younger 'helpful' librarians. An example is Bat Girl.
Do you have other examples?
