Interesting Article: The Female Librarian in Film, Has the Image Changed in 60 Years?

SLIS Student Research Journal (Volume 3, Issue 2, Article 2) has an interesting article on stereotypes and traits evidenced in Hollywood's portrayal of librarians.  From the conclusion:  "As the results in this paper have shown, there really has been little change in the image of the librarian in movies in the last 60 years. There is some movement though with the inclusion of technology in library scenes and the characterization of a librarian as a fashionable, regular young woman, like Emily in The Station Agent (2003). As more of
these progressive images are included in movies, the collective perception of the librarian will
begin to change. The tired portrayal of the stern countenance, the bun and spectacles, will be
replaced by a dynamic, engaging and real person…who just happens to be a librarian.
