Thank you for your interest in discussing difficulties
with our Massachusetts Historical Records Advisory
Board Bill Milhomme!
In preparing a web log about our city public library's
social sciences department curatorial work, it will be
possible to chronicle the lack of attention to a
signal intellectual freedom matter. It's effect
of delivery of services deters and deflects the very
people for whom services need to be better designed.
As a curator, MHRAB's Mary Frances O'Brien's denial of
service at our Regional and Massachusetts Library of
Last Recourse City of Boston Public Library Social
Sciences Department Reference Desk is signal in that
the very expertise that is used to thwart the public
should have been used finding alternate ways for
people to get the information they ask about.
BPL Departmental curatorial reports are legitimately
public and the department curator has responsibility
for disclosing the report

Institutional culture can facilitate or create a manner
that deflects communities constituencies.
Boston Public Library Social Sciences Department
Reference Desk Services could do more to facilitate
access to information removing any barriers.
Our Regional and Massachusetts Library of Last Recourse
City of Boston Public Library Departments use enormous
energies outlining too many restrictions and
limitations for public library users and even other
Boston Public Library personnel. Certainly there
should be proportionally greater energies being
devoted to getting information in the hands of
readers. Yet at BPL it is not the case. It is after
all a public library.
How to open our City Hall, city governing authorities
and our city public libraries to enquiry about matters
of city operations, even library operations, is as
valid a study as any.
Making City Hall and even our city public libraries
operations more transparent to those with interest
to ask is admirable in idea and practice.
