"please answer me what is the auther of this site and the purpose of the site ." Slam the Boards is a grass-roots attempt to have reference librarians participate in providing answers on various "answer boards," such as WikiAnswers, Yahoo Answers, AskVille, Answerbag, etc. The aim is twofold: 1) To encounter users beyond the walls of the library and the bounds of our library websites and chat services and provide well-sourced, dependable answers to questions that lend themselves to factual answers, referrals, etc. 2) To make users of those services aware that librarians and libraries can be valuable source not just for books, videos, etc., but also for mediated answers to questions and referral to appropriate sources and organizations. This is mainly done by clearly identifying the person who answers the question as a librarian and referring readers back to a site that can help them locate their own library resources. Recent studies have shown that library users are well-aware of libraries' content holdings, but are almost completely unaware of our 100-year tradition of providing reference services. Arlington Heights Memorial Library author of this site is:"Jeffery Pomerantz"

The complete program for A Reference Renaissance: Current and Future Trends is now available on the conference website.
This exciting two-day event features keynote speaker David W. Lewis, Dean of the University Library at Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis, who will talk about Reference in the Age of Wikipedia, Or Not... and the implications of the technological and social transformations brought on by Google, Wikipedia, and answer services such as ChaCha. On day two of the conference, a plenary panel discussion, Theory Meets Practice, made up of educators and library directors will highlight what’s being taught in schools of library and information science and what’s being implemented in libraries. This panel features Dr. David Lankes (Information Institute of Syracuse), Dr. Marie L. Radford (Rutgers University), Jamie LaRue (Douglas County Libraries, CO), and Carla J. Stoffle (University of Arizona).
Other sessions cover the full gamut of reference and information services in public, academic, and special library settings. Learn about “predatory reference” techniques, screencasts for distance reference, gathering meaningful statistics, the impact of serious leisure on reference services, new staff training initiatives, widgets, IM, marketing in-person services – and more! Meet and network with your colleagues from all over the U.S., Canada, and other countries, and spend time with exhibitors showcasing a variety of reference focused products.
Early bird registration has been extended thru June 30 at a rate of $150; regular registration is $175. Registration includes all sessions on both days and access to the exhibits as well as breakfast and lunch both days. A special hotel rate of $105 (+tax) per night is available for reservations made before July 11.

Registration for the Reference Renaissance, to be held in Denver, Colorado August 4-5, 2008, is NOW OPEN!
Head on over to http://www.bcr.org/referencerenaissance to register and for updates on programs and speakers. Early Bird Registration is $150 by May 31st. Regular registration is $175.
We're expecting 300-400 attendees from all over the US and from all types of libraries!
Contact Brenda Bailey-Hainer at bbailey@bcr.org or 303.751.6277 ext. 117 if you have any questions.
About the Conference:
A Reference Renaissance: Current and Future Trends
August 4-5, 2008, Denver, CO
Sponsored by BCR (Bibliographical Center for Research) and RUSA (Reference and User Services Association), an ALA Division
Rumors of the “death of reference” have been greatly exaggerated! Reference and information services now encompass not just traditional forms such as in-person point-of-service, telephone, and e-mail, but also Instant Messaging, Text Messaging (SMS), blogs, wikis, library pages on MySpace and Facebook, and virtual reference desks in Second Life.
A Reference Renaissance: Current and Future Trends conference will explore all aspects of reference service in a broad range of contexts, including libraries and information centers, in academic, public, school, corporate, and other special library environments. This two-day conference will incorporate the multitude of established, emerging, and merging types of reference service including both traditional and virtual reference. It presents an opportunity for all reference practitioners and scholars to explore the rapid growth and changing nature of reference, as an escalating array of information technologies blend with traditional reference service to create vibrant hybrids.

The upcoming "Reference Renaissance: Current and Future Trends" looks to be a great opportunity for idea-sharing on the future of reference services (maybe even board slamming?). Keep it in mind! They've also got a call for papers, ending April 4. Care to present?

I use Answers.com's WikiAnswers (http://wiki.answers.com) There are more than 100 supervisors moderating the site and consolidating the responses, and the site quality is a result of this supervisor involvement.

Hi Bill!
Thank you for your reply. Please let me know what you think of WikiAnswers. We love to get feedback from knowledge experts, such as our wonderful librarians. ;-) I should mention that we recently set up a category on WikiAnswers called 'Libraries and Library History'. You can find it here http://wiki.answers.com/Q/FAQ/3351. It could use some TLC and more great answers.
Thanks and enjoy Slam the Boards!

In my first spurt of answers for Yahoo Answers I was pleased to get a few 'bests.' I'm still amazed at how many opinion questions get posted, how many blatant 'do my homework' questions (and how they get called out usually), and how many lovelorn questions. When I looked at Just Answer, I was troubled by the serious medical questions - I could lose sleep worrying about whether these folks are getting help! Maybe it's just the end of a long week catching up with me!

This event was a great idea. I answered a dozen questions, mostly at Yahoo Answers because I like the questions better there. Not only did I learn new information about topics I knew little about, I was also able to tout some great Illinois resources in my answers. It was interesting learning what kinds of questions people ask and I found them to be very different from those I help answer in a QuestionPoint academic queue. I like the idea expressed by someone else to do this event again. Thanks Bill and Caleb for your great idea! I'm curious to learn of any impact we all may have had, too.
