radical reference at RNC

Radical Reference is a service provided by library workers from all over the United States to give
assistance to demonstrators at the Republican National Convention in New York City. We will answer your reference questions via blog, e-mail, chat, and in the street.

Street: Look for librarians wearing baseball caps (tan with a blue bill) with an "I" on it if you need legal info, subway directions, a bathroom, or have any other questions.

News: We have a one-hour workshop prepared and available to indymedia journalists on fact checking and evaluating sources for accuracy, authority, coverage, currency, and objectivity. Contact info [at] radicalreference.info to schedule a session.

Librarians: Write info [at] radicalreference.info to volunteer your services. Law and News librarians and those who can read & write other languages especially sought, but all will be put to work.
