Tucson Radical Reference Collective

This is the local collective page for Tucson. Contact Nicole for more info.

We have started an official group through the University of Arizona, and are now a chapter of the Progressive Librarians Guild, however we are going to be doing events that relate to both PLG and Rad Ref. Anyone is welcome to join us: you do not have to be a student! SIRLS students, alumni, and community librarians are all welcome. More information is listed in our wiki.

We meet every other Tuesday from 5:15-6:15pm in the SIRLS multipurpose room on the UA campus (this information and directions are listed on our wiki).

Upcoming:

• Yoga Fundraiser! All are welcome -- please help us increase our funds so we can organize events for the community and print our newsletter and brochures! Saturday, 10 May 2008, 10:30am - 12:00pm in room A313 in the University of Arizona Main Library (Cherry & University). $5 for PLG members and $10 regular. Our Events & Fundraising Coordinator is a certified yoga instructor. Go to our wiki for more information, including if you need a mat or have any health concerns our yoga instructor should be aware of. Registration is not mandatory, but there is limited space due to the size of the room, so it is encouraged.
• Our first newsletter will be coming out towards the end of May -- see the wiki for what is to come (although it is currently quite messy).

Things we have done Spring 2008:

• We spoke briefly at "Of Friends and Whirlwinds: Inquiry, Movements, and 'Constituent Imagination' on Research and Radical Politics" about PLG and explaining what Radical Reference is and how it can be of use to activists. The event was organized by Team Colors, whose website is at Warmachines.info. I've attached their flyer. This event was Saturday, April 26th from 4-6pm at Dry River.
• We also contributed two subject heading suggestions to Rad Ref's LCSH Blogging Party,"Bollywood Films" and "Freeganism" in our blog.
