Libraries hold many fascinating things including films.......

The 1919 silent film "The Sentimental Bloke" is held by the State Library of NSW.

This fascinating image from the film is available courtesy of Australianscreen, where you can also find out more about the film (inspired by the poem of the same name by C. J. Dennis) and also watch short clips of this early Australian feature film.

The notion of Equity of Access to collections underpins the efforts of many libraries and archives in embracing new web technologies.

Fascinated or Obsessed?

Have you ever been fascinated by a film or suspect you are obsessed by a particular film genre or theme?

My fascination for a particular film led me to seek out further information about this film and its Director....

And...

You guessed it!

I discovered that the Director in question had a BLOG. In some ways it was like reading someones diary (but with their permission) and i found myself looking forward to the new posts.
Blogs can be powerful tools for learning about something you are interested in and are increasingly being used by organisations such as libraries to highlight their collections.
