University of Minnesota’s INFO-U

How does the average person learn about and use the University of Minnesota’s research? One way is to call INFO. People are so busy these days and INFO-U lets them get research quickly-24 hours a day-even if they don’t have a computer.

Septic systems, household pests, food safety, from fish advisories to B.S.E. "mad cow", and parenting are among the 700 topics anyone with a telephone can learn about in 2 minutes.

Call 389-8325 or stop by the Blue Earth Extension office to pick up a free brochure that is a directory of topics for this toll free number. To hear a sample of INFO-U topics, try it by calling 1-800-525-8636.
