How do you launch an alternative press collection, develop a radical films series, organize a union, start a group (like Radical Reference), etc? Come hear how others have achieved their pet projects and brainstorm new ideas and ways of implementing them.

Radical Reference will be meeting and socializing at the ALA Annual conference in Washington, DC on Saturday, June 23, 2007.

We plan to meet at 8:30pm at the Hawk 'n' Dove at 329 Pennsylvania Ave. SE. The Hawk 'n' Dove does not have much in the way of vegetarian or vegan food. So the vegans among us might have to get some takeout or eat a little earlier.

Who We Are (and When/Where We Meet)

The New York City branch of the activist collective Radical Reference is an assortment of information workers in the New York City area dedicated to critical engagement with issues surrounding the intersection of information and social justice. We have done street reference during the 2004 Republican National Convention and other demonstrations, and we offer free workshops on topics like fact-checking and online research.
