Complimentary Press Research Services Available at GOP ConventionFriday August 27, 3:46 pm ET
NEW YORK, Aug. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- The Special Libraries Association (SLA) and the New York Public Library (NYPL) are offering Information Central for complimentary research services to the media gathered for the 2004 Republican National Convention. Staff from NYPL and local members of SLA will provide research support during the convention. Queries may be submitted via phone, electronic mail, or in person at the concierge service desk in the James A. Farley Post Office, located on 8th Avenue, between 32nd and 33rd Streets in Manhattan. Access to the Farley Post Office and the complimentary research services are available to registered media during the convention.
Initial queries must be submitted in person at the concierge service desk, so that appropriate credential checks may be completed. Subsequent queries may be submitted via phone or electronic mail. Details on making electronic requests will be provided to registered media representatives during their initial visit to the concierge service desk.
John Ganly of the New York Public Library says the system is easy to use. "Once a media representative submits a request to the concierge service desk, it will be transmitted to the NYPL Science, Industry and Business Library staff. Results of the research will then be reported back to the person making the request in an appropriate format."
The complimentary search services are being graciously supported by Factiva, Information USA, LexisNexis, and OneSource.
