How to use a card catalog to find a book in the library. Not much else. I think I'd have liked to have been a female librarian (with good teeth, a big pair, legs, and looks)in the mid twentieth century. Lots of stacks to carry out that "tending to men's needs" thing [that I bet went on], yet still go home to a faithful (unsuspecting) hubby. The film is otherwise quite boring - but of historical interest if nothing else. [Anybody know Mr Kowalski, U of M Library Science, circa 1970?)

It seems logical that if you are in a library looking for a book on Nathaniel Hawthorne, you would look under "H." Poor Jean. She can't even figure that out (one wonders how she used a phone book back then). However, a friendly school librarian is there to help, and introduce her to the wonderful world of the Dewey Decimal System. The film may be useful, but is pretty drab.
