This document discusses how libraries can take a more proactive approach to reference by engaging users on various online question and answer sites ("slamming the boards") as well as in the local community. It encourages librarians to search for and answer questions on sites like Yahoo Answers and social media, while identifying themselves as librarians. This will help promote library skills. It also suggests attending local community meetings to offer research help and listening for ways to assist locally. The goal is to cast a wider net to make more users aware of what libraries can do rather than waiting passively for questions.
