Re: How to find information about BPL collections' finding guides.
That's one example how you might request information
from an obstinate institution, our Boston Public
Library, whose curators' reference desk services have
been lacking in removing barriers, reducing obstacles
to access our city's public library collections.
BPL Reference desks have lacked in providing adequate
navigational directories and descriptive bibliographies
for our Boston Back Bay Copley Square library
buildings departments, floors and collections.
Curators haven't fulfilled their responsibilities,
misrepresenting or omitting pertinent important
details about collections like the Ed Fenninger
Sound Archives audio and video recordings.
Enthusiasts side lined, marginalized or deflected by
our Boston Public Library Departments' Reference Desks
take heart ! It's an institutional culture that
hopefully changes with attrition of an inflexible
old guard.
