Can someone at the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners answer my reference question?
This Web site is not a center for reference or research questions. If such questions come to us, we will generally forward them to the Boston Public Library, the statewide reference and referral center. If the question is about libraries in Massachusetts, librarianship, or activities and services of the Board of Library Commissioners, then we will respond to you directly. If you have a more general reference question, consider the following options: Option 1: Visit, phone, or email your local library Option 2: Call your regional reference center, or go to their web sites. Massachusetts is divided up into six library regions. Each region has designated one or more large public libraries as a reference center. The regional reference centers are now providing realtime chat reference service. Option 3.
