The Geography and Map Division will respond to requests that cannot be answered by a library in the inquirer's locality. It is not possible, however, to undertake extensive research projects or to assist students in preparing bibliographies, term papers, or other academic assignments. We will respond to inquiries received through the following points of contact, although we are only able to do limited research for inquiries made via the telephone.

	Ask-A-Librarian. Please be sure to include your full name and address even though it is not required. We often have material to forward to you via regular mail and having the address in the initial email shortens the time for getting your information.
