=**Slam the Boards! **=

Slam the Boards! is a grassroots movement started by reference librarians to go out to the boards (such as Yahoo Answers, WikiAnswers, AskVille, etc.) and answer as many questions as possible. These reference librarians make it CLEAR that LIBRARIANS are answering these questions in order to demonstrate their question-answering skills to those outside of libraries who are unaware of the work of reference librarians. This movement is an attempt to promote libraries and make the Reference Librarian community more visible to the public.

"Slam the Boards!" occurs every month on the 10th, but all reference librarians are encouraged to go outside of the library and provide answers from authoritative sources.
