Twitter questions questioned

Recently, we were asked if we received permission from our questioners to post their queries in our twitter feed. The answer simply is no however there are several caveats that need to be noted. In no case do we make the identity of our patrons known and if the question is perhaps too leading, that question will not be posted. Occasionally, a question might be reworded for brevity or to simplify the essence. Generally, we try to cut and paste exactly from the emails or IM chats so the reader gets the authentic question. As we near our 1000th twitter entry, we hope to celebrate more than a year’s worth of excellent questions showing the real day-to-day activity of the at the state library reference desk.
