Join us the morning of September 27th as David Cuillier, Professor of
Journalism at the University of Arizona, will speak on his latest
book, The Art of Access: Strategies for Acquiring Public Records. His
book is filled with government record research tips - questions to
ask, examples of request letters, and interesting real-life stories.
Fascinating pull-out "Pro Tips" by journalists and attorneys
throughout the book are inspiring.

This MNCOGI session will be energizing for journalists, librarians,
researchers, and citizen activists.  You'll learn about where to look
for government records and how to work with government agencies to get
them (and never take no for an answer!).
