A Real Reference Question!
This is major snark, but we’re soo happy!
We had a *real reference question* that had us searching hither, thither, and yon for an answer. I expanded the brain trust working on the question from me to four other librarians and we finally tracked it down.
Oh, what was the question?
I forget, but it was a fat blue book about this *holds fingers apart ~2 inches* thick…
No, actually, it was a request for a breakout of Native American faculty in higher education by state, there was also a variant for African-American faculty by state (which was a touch easier) and another by the same prof for the same class about a census of native american or african american studies programs by state nation-wide… drat, I don’t find the sheet I wrote the exact wording of the questions on so this will seem like an easy (set of) question(s) now.
I’ll leave the detective work to you to cuss in the comments, when I find the sheet I had for the answers we finally came up with I’ll re-post or answer in the comments here (depending on which seems easier for continuity)
