Free webcast of Jim Thorpe: World’s Greatest Athlete

In case you are still craving to watch the Olympics after the 12th, you may want to check out the live webcast of the documentary Jim Thorpe: World’s Greatest Athlete on the NMAI website on Friday, August 17, 2012 from 2–3pm (EDT). Check out the trailer here. This webcast, along with the discussion at the Washington D.C. NMAI site, is being presented in conjunction with the exhibition “Best in the World: Native Athletes in the Olympics,” on display through September 3, 2012. Shout out to Steve Beleu, fellow AILA member and reference librarian at the Oklahoma Depart of Libraries, for alerting me.
