what are the limits of obscurity for questions for reference librarians? i don’t want to ask anything obscure just for the sake of obscurity, i just don’t want to break social conventions.
Our reference librarians are incomparable and will answer any question, no matter how obscure (although you probably shouldn’t ask obscure questions for the sake of obscurity, since that takes them away from genuine work). Give them a shout next time you’re in the library or online using the Ask Us Now! button in upper right corner of the Libraries’ front page.
