Shout Out to radical
library workers!
Library workers are launching
a project in support of the demonstrations surrounding the Republican National
Convention in New York City August 29-September 2, 2004. We will offer blog,
chat, street, and news reference, responding to questions from demonstrators.
Sound ambitious? It is,
so we need help.
Please contact info@radicalreference.info
if you would like to:
- answer e-mail reference
questions
- use your foreign language
skills to answer questions and make the site more accessible
- perform chat reference
- participate in street
reference
- be a news librarian,
teaching and researching for independent media journalists
- help with the website
- gather "Quick Facts
& Contacts" info for street reference
- rally together as library
workers at the protests
- send us money (for hats
to identify us, materials, technical costs)
All will be welcome to
participate regardless of skill level or proximity to NYC. Indicate in your
message in which areas you will participate.
NOTE: our website is under
construction. We hope to have it ready to receive reference questions by the
end of the week.
