But someone old enough to be in library school in the mid-late 90s? I'm likely younger than that person and I grew up with LPs.

True, she was the only one who didn't know (and she was very young for grad school, 20 I think). But right on the edge of what was to come. I knew what an LP was but had never owned one (I was 22) and neither had anybody in my family bought one in living memory (my Dad had an old collection of them but I had never seen one played).
But the point of my reminiscence was that I would avoid the "what's film" joke since premature hints of technological obsolescence makes people feel old.
