OT: Movie "The Forgotten" & NYC library

[John Wolfgang <wolfgang@TELEPORT.COM>]

My wife & I saw the movie, "The Forgotten" today & enjoyed it.  However, that 
forever-present
"librarian" part of me couldn't help notice that in the scene inside the NYC 
Library branch, where the
main character is inquiring at the desk about her search for a newspaper article, 
the background
shows a host of patrons happily using the card catalog....not 1 computer in the 
whole place (that I could
see).

Now, I'm starting to 2nd guess myself....is any NYC Library branch STILL using the 
card catalog????
Or is this just a case of Hollywood having "forgotten" that Libraries also live in 
the 21st Century?

Just curious.
