If you feel like you have missed the panel discussion "Women and Geek Culture", you can watch it now. The spectacular organizing team of the conference have made them available both as ftp-downloads, as well as embeddable videos from the CCC media server.
Two small community libraries, Fjell folkeboksamling and Meland bibliotek, have said yes to a new experience: Making a film about what people can find in the library. Two groups of students from a seminar at the Institute for media and informations science, University of Bergen, had the task to find out what the libraries had - and how they could present the material.
The outcome is quite fascinating. While the one about Meland focuses on words and animations with the (very nice and sympathetic) head librarian as, the other one focuses on the youngest target group of potential patrons: A - mostly silent - kid boy with his curious discoveries in the library. Both the films are charming. I like the approach of presenting the librarian as a person and give the library not only a lot of meaning, but also show a friendly and smart human face. And I also like the approach of the other film that shows very well how you can go on a discovery in the library - and find besides the fishing rod (that you really can borrow at this library" and all the other stuff, what could be an interesting discovery for you.
