A catalogue of clichés: Tevis, Ray, and Trevis, Brenda The image of librarians in cinema, 1917–1999. Jefferson, NC: McFarland and Company, 2005. US$45.00 soft ISBN 0786421509

Librarianship is one of the most stereotyped of professions, and this book deals with one of its representations, that of ‘reel’ librarians, those on film. This is a history of librarians in movies with over 200 titles considered, from ‘A Wife on Trial’ (1917) to ‘A Simple Plan’ (1998). The book contains, also, an afterword with data concerning the portrayal of librarians in the films at hand, filmographies of movies that were and were not included, chapter notes and select bibliography.
