1PM in the Elliott Room (located in between Bates hall and the Hub computer area) of the Boston Public Library. From there, we'll get reference materials and find a place to work. Organized by User:sj
We will have a Wikipedia sign. Bring your referencing problems if you like and we can all work on them. I can also give short Wikipedia referencing and/or library research tutorials if anyone wants. Bring your BPL card if you have one!

Modern writers, musicians, and educators might be a place to start. A Reference Challenge with a list of 100 peeps to begin with would be interesting. (does someone want to start putting this together?)
