strange reference questions



Listers:

Here I go again. I am chair of a panel discussion at our upcoming SAA
meeting on archival reference services. I am collection "strange" "strange"
and "stranger" reference questions you might have received. One of my
strangest was a man who called seeking the "secret" formula for making a
certain kind of hot dog called a "cheese dog", the process of which was lost
when the inventor was killed in a plane crash. And then there was the man
who came into the Research Room with a live bird on his shoulder ...

Thanks.
