Twitter Tuesday is a weekly feature that looks back at the USC Libraries' conversations in the Twitterverse. You can follow the USC Libraries on Twitter at @USCLibraries. Feel free to ask questions or send comments on Twitter; we may repost your question here as part of next Tuesday's post.
One of our followers started a conversation about the USC Libraries Scripter Award, the annual award that honors the year's best print-to-screen adaptation:
zackgutin: @USCLibraries had a blast with my @finaldraftinc colleague at the scripter awards in February. Can't wait for next years! #screenwriting
USCLibraries: @zackgutin We're looking forward to the Scripter Award, too! We just announced the date - Friday, February 4, 2011: zackgutin: @USCLibraries fantastic! Looking forward to it! (and the excellent gift bags).
zackgutin: Proud to be followed by @USCLibraries, home of the prestigious Scripter Awards and the opening scene of Ghostbusters! #filmmaking #writing
A photograph from the USC Digital Library's Los Angeles Examiner Negatives Collection sparked a conversation about a public swimming pool in Echo Park:
USCLibraries: A heat wave is forecast for L.A. this week. Here, children cool off in an Echo Park pool in 1958: https://twitpic.com/2hiyho #uscdiglib
lomara: Pool still there. https://flic.kr/p/8uMP5K
echoparknow: @USCLibraries Still there but still closed according to the Rec Center website! Hopefully the deep pool will reopen today
