As librarians, our information needs do not begin and end within library walls. When we watch the evening news, flip through magazines, or scroll through social media feeds, we automatically evaluate the structure, intent, and delivery of our content sources to identify authoritative voices, biased views, or commercial interests. Thus, library instruction is most powerful when it extends beyond the single academic assignment and teaches students to reimagine the conditions of their entire information landscape.

Hi,

A teacher is looking for a Revolutionary War feature film that has value from a historical perspective, offers good "period" information (dress, military hardware, etc.), and is entertaining.

The teacher is willing to use “The Patriot” with Mel Gibson but I wanted to check if anyone knew of something that does a better job from a historical standpoint. I would prefer to be able to get a physical copy from a library but if it can be legally streamed from a provider such as Overdrive, Hoopla, etc. that would work too. I would need it in the next few days so I need something that isn’t too obscure.

Thanks,

"The old idea of the librarian as a sort of recluse closeted with his books and
interested only in them is the very antithesis of the modern librarian, who
must live with people equally with books, and who must also be keenly aware
of all that is going on in the world around him."

~Linda A. Eastman~ (Head Librarian of the Cleveland Public Library, 1918 to 1938)
