Social etiquette tips for upstanding library patrons

17 06 2010

Once upon a time, I wandered into a barber shop that sported an “Official Haircuts for Men and Boys” poster over the cash register.  Anachronistic even for Dallas in the mid-1980s, I thought it was hilarious.  Since that time I’ve been a huge fan of the 1950s/1960s era films, filmstrips, and posters that were meant to guide the impressionable youth of the time on to the path of correct behavior.

The good folks at the J.Michael Goodson Law Library at Duke, with staff from their Academic Technology department too, have taken those social etiquette films to heart in this libvid, a response to patron complaints about behavior in the library.  This reader submitted (thanks!) nomination is for Best Narration category.  Interlibrary Loan manager, Lee Cloninger’s radio voice harks back to the golden age of youth focused propaganda instruction.  In fact the entire production was just swell!

You might want to correct the spelling in your heading re OAQ

“occasionally” – not “occaisonally”
