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.
