Sometimes when you look long and hard enough you can find whatever it is you are looking for.

Librarians may not always find what we're looking for right when we need to find it, but that doesn't mean we stop looking. Leave us your email so that when we find whatever it was you were searching for so that we can send it to you - because we'll find it (whatever "it" is) eventually.
