Research Services

Library/ Internet/Web research and Current Awareness services from an experienced professional reference librarian.Every question deserves an answer. If you are looking for some elusive quotation, poem, saying, or even some trivial fact, the chances are good that I can find it for you. If you would like more extensive research conducted on the Web, let someone who has been doing this type of research for years help you out. My rates are very reasonable, and with my extensive information files and library/Internet experience, I can often find an answer in less than ten minutes. This is a bargain compared to your spending literally hours online looking through thousands of Web pages or writing to various sources.

There are three ways you can pay for this service.

1) Establish a Deposit Account ($250.00). This works best if you anticipate having multiple requests in the future. I will charge the account for work done and keep you posted about the balance. This is like having your own personal reference librarian on retainer.

2) Buy one unit of research ($25.00) at a time. If I cannot answer your question for this amount, I will contact you with an estimate of total research costs. At that point you will have the option of cancelling your request, whereupon I will reverse the $25 charge, or you can submit the additional payment through PayPal.

3) Subscribe to a Current Awareness Service ($25.00/month). Receive regular reports of pertinent research in your field. A profile will be created, and regular searches run against this profile on appropriate databases. Citations to the literature including abstracts will be emailed to you at regular intervals. If you choose this option, contact me using the link below to set up your profile.

Note: Photocopying/Shipping/Delivery of hardcopy or media will incur additional charges.
