Listings. Boston Public Library Resource Specialists
The Honorable William Francis Galvin <pre@sec.state.ma.us>
Commonwealth of Massachusetts Public Records Division
http://www.state.ma.us/sec/pre/prelaw/lawidx.htm
Dear Secretary of State Galvin,
Bernard A. Margolis, Boston Public Library President
has denied people of Massachusetts library reference
desk services.
It is improperly required that public library
information be requested using state FOI freedom of
information principles for access that could and
should be provided routinely at the reference desk.
Please arrange for me to read listings of Boston Public Library
Resource Specialists mentioned on the BPL web link
http://www.bpl.org/general/policies/collectiondevappen.htm
Could BPL, our Massachusetts Library of Last Recourse
Statewide Reference and Referral Center, be directed
to respond in a more timely manner to requests for
information?...
It's supposed to be our public library! Yet records
management deficiencies hamper access.
Your appointment of BPL Social Sciences Department
Reference Desk Curator M.F. O'Brien mfobrien@bpl.org
to Massachusetts Historical Records Advisory Board
http://www.state.ma.us/sec/arc/arcidx.htm
hasn't yet facilitated access to legitimately public
documents of our Massachusetts Library of Last Recourse
Statewide Reference and Referral Center.
Very truly yours,
Don Saklad
