The 2001 edition of the Power Boat Guide has a review for the Bayliner
2859 Ciera Express (originally called the Super Classic 28) on page
69. This boat was manufactured from 1993-1999. Is this the review you
need? If so, give us your fax number or address and we will be happy to
send the page to you. The other Ciera model that is close in size is the
Bayliner 2858 Ciera Command Bridge.

You didn't indicate if you wanted grants for conservation of your brothers
work or to
mount a one man retrospective (show). Given his location, I think your
best starting points
are:
Prince Georges Art Council

Maryland State Arts Council
http://www.msac.org (They have at least two different grants program.)
Also check the National Endowment for the Arts
http://www.nea.gov
There is also a "visual arts fellowship" administered
by the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore. This is intended
for
students pursuing art studies, but these folks might be interested in

I'm not sure how I accessed your website but thought I'd at least ask if you
are aware of how I might be able to find copies of old high school
yearbooks.
Example of what I'm looking for is 1969-70 Garinger H.S. in Charlotte, NC.
Thank you for any suggestion you might have.

Your best bet for locating HS yearbooks is the local history collection of
the public library in whatever community the school is in. For Charlotte,
you can talk to the librarians at

On behalf of the students, thanks for your prompt answers. I will pass the information along to them later today, but they probably won't need material faxed to them (it's fourth grade and the people you mentioned in your second email will be great additions to their report).

Answer #1
I'm not sure I understand your question. If you mean what is reference
service provided at libraries, I can tell you that this is the department
you would go to for information: you can ask a question and/or you can
ask for help in using books, magazines, the internet etc. You can also
email us your questions. The reference department is a good place to
research any topic. Do you have a specific question? We would be glad to
help.

request we need two more things:
1. The titles of the articles.
2. A per article fee limit. Please be advised that most medical libraries
charge $10.00 per article request. We need your ok on this before we can
place the order. You can specify a lower dollar limit but it
might affect our ability to obtain the material you need.

(Richard, Robert) of about the right period died in NJ in the 1960s and
1970s...There are a couple of possibilities:
--the painting was done as part of the Federal Writers Project in NJ,
as an illustration for the WPA Guide to NJ
--it is "just" a painting done of the Arch Bridge in Boonton, which is
rather well known.

the Kingston Trio, the Weavers (Pete Seeger), Peter Paul and Mary, Joan
Baez (among others) and "hootenanies", gatherings of folk singers,

"Cracker
A name first used in N. America from the mid-18th century onwards, for a
plain, unsweetened, dry, hard, bread product; thus corresponding to the
part of the domain covered by the wider English term 'biscuit'. When
crackers are broken into pieces they make a cracking noise, which accounts
for the name. Crackers may be leavened or unleavened. Those of the former
sort were baked by a particular method which called for a dough leavened
with bicarbonate of soda (hence the term 'soda cracker') and left to stand
until pockets of carbon dioxide formed in the mixture. When biscuits of
this dough were placed in a very hot oven they rose quickly, giving the
characteristic texture. Unleavened crakers may be made from flour and
water only (as are matzos) or with the addition of a little salt. Some
examples of this sort are the small oyster crakers, used on top of seafood
chowders, and the crackers known as ships' biscuit..."
---The Oxford Companion to Food, Alan Davidson (p. 222)
According to the Encyclopedia of American Food and Drink, John F. Mariani
(p. 331), what we know today as the modern 'oyster cracker' is a direct
descendant of the Trenton cracker:

>> how can i became the member of library.
If you live in Morris County, you just go to your hometown library, get a
library card from them...and that is what you use here and all over the
county. A list of the county libraries is here if you want to call the
one in your town and ask about getting a card.

query: I lived in Bergen County so I have a library card for Bergen. I wonder can I used that card in your library? If not, I work in X. Can I apply a county library card in your library?
Come over sometime and get a card from us, at our circulation desk.
We give cards to anyone who works in Morris County (bring something that
shows you do work here..paystub, ID badge from employer, whatever). With
a card from us you'll be able to use the remote databases. No, access to
EBSCO and other products is not possible with a Union Cty card; sorry.
Let us know if we can help with anything further.

The tradition of eating crackers/hard bread products with soup (especially
chowder) dates back to ancient times. Crackers (common crakers, pilot
bread, ship's biscuit, hardtack) could be stored for a relatively long
time and added both bulk and nutrients to soups and stews.
"The Trenton cracker was first made in 1848 by Adam and John Exton, two
English immigrants who created the item in the Trenton, New Jersey,
bakery. They called it the 'Exton Oyster and Butter Cracker and Wine
Scroll Biscuit'...It is a traditional eastern cracker used in oyster
stews."

Here is my research question...
How did America Online (AOL) evolve from a small internet service provider to
the large, multimedia company that it is today? I am looking for specific events,
company policies, promotionals, and other indicators of growth. For instance, I
know that AOL grew to become larger than Prodigy in a matter of years. All I
need are some evidences, proofs, and trends that show how this happened.
I will use this information to create my own pathfinder. It is part of a major
graduate-level class project. In fact, I chose to consult the Internet Public
Library because my instructor has encouraged the class to see how online
reference operates.
Currently, I am a student working towards a degree in library science. It
will hopefully help me enter a world of successful, specialized careers.
I am currently looking for more sources that I could use. Only a few sources
have proved useful, such as Hoover's Handbook of American Business and one or
two online guides to companies and their histories. If any sources with
specific, coherent information on this subject exist, let me know.
Thank you.

We will be happy to help you find the article you are looking for. What
can you tell us about it? Did it reference a particualr
person? event? company? Where did you hear about it? Any clues you can
give will be helpful.

So far I have been able to come up with a number of

when I went to the New York Times on microfilm to see if the stock
price was available for July, 27, 1960, there was no price listed

company's recent liquidation, I found information that they just
finished the dissolution of the company on July 3, 2001 (last week).

Thanks,
Yes! Thank you.If you have the article I am looking for that would be

compact discs in our library by selecting Morris County Library and
running a keyword search with the term "comapct disc." If you want to
know if we own a particualr title or group add that to the keyword box. If
you want to limit it to music CDs, go down to" optional search limits"
and select "musical recordings" in the first box (on the left). CDs owned
by the Morris County Library will be highlighted in green. I

directly with the publisher, Earthscan

USA. Perhaps you can arrange a speedier delivery. One other note...this
book was published in conjuction with the Institute for Development

query: I have a few, pls:
1. how do I obtain a Patron ID so I can use EBSCO?
2. do you have access to subscription databases such as Hoovers?
3. I do a lot of corp research internationally both for personal use and business use -- what searchabe databases does the library have access to which would contain international corporate information?
I have identified many online resources but many have high subscription fees which are not practical for my limited use.
THANK YOU!!
Date: Fri, 17 Aug 2001 11:34:54 -0400 (EDT)
>>1. how do I obtain a Patron ID so I can use EBSCO?
This is the 13 digit library card number (barcode) on the back of any
Morris County
town library card. You get the library card from your hometown library. If
you don't live in
Morris, you can get a card from us, free if you work in Morris, for $50 if
you live and work
outside of Morris.
>>2. do you have access to subscription databases such as Hoovers?
We have ReferenceUSA and General Business File. The latter is particularly
good,
because it includes Investext, reports about industry segments/companies
from
investment brokerages/houses.
>>3. I do a lot of corp research internationally both for personal use and
business use -- what searchabe databases does the library have access to
which
would contain international corporate information?
Nothing specifically international. As noted above, GBF does pick up
overseas
companies/markets. The Directory of Corporate Affiliations: International
is an
excellent book source. The overseas stock exchanges (London, Paris,
Frankfurt,
Tokyo, etc.) are online and in many cases you can retrieve company reports
just as you can from SEC/EDGAR. We also have DUNS Europe and Asia, but
these give just the basic business profile.
For databases held around the county, in different libraries, see
http://www.gti.net/main/cdsurvey.html
Hope this gets you started.

Monroe is in Middlesex County. It was a small farming community, has
become a sprawl of senior citizen retirement complexes. I'm not sure how
much town history they have retained. This is their information on

query: On a normal quarter mile running track, what are the lengths of the different lanes?
We're sending the architectural standards/schematics for building a
quarter mile track. We haven't found the exact lane lengths yet..it
depends in part on whether it is a six or eight lane track. This site
discusses marking the lanes for staggered starts to even out the curves.

query: I was reading about the project in Chicago that is asking all adolescents and adults to read the same book at the same time ("To Kill a Mockingbird" - NY Times article http://www.nytimes.com/2001/08/28/books/28MOCK.html?pagewanted=1) and I think it would be a great thing to do in NJ. Any thoughts on how something like this would get started?
Try contacting both the NJ Education and Library Associations (a jointly
sponsored project would be the most effective).

query: I need a French wedding song. One that can be san in French and then echoed in English.
Do you have any suggestions?
We were able to find some french wedding music in a book of sheet
music we have titled, "Anthology of Modern French Song", by Max
Spicker. The titles are:
Le Fidele Coeur (The Faithful Heart)
Je ne veux pas autre chose (Nothing I ask thee to give me)
Ariette (Were I sunshine, I should come)
If you have a fax machine I would be glad to send you this information, or
I could mail it if the time frame would accept that. Or perhaps the
titles will suffice. Please let me know which of these options you would
prefer. Thanks again.
Thank you SO much for your response!! I wasn't sure if I would even get one!! I REALLY appreciate it. I live in Arizona, so either of your options would be long distance, but I would gladly pay for either. I've listed my fax number and my address, so which ever is more conveinient for you will work for me!!

query: how would you solve the problem of teenage dropouts
>>how would you solve the problem of teenage dropouts
You are talking about school dropouts? 16 year olds who decide to work
rather than get a HS diploma? and is this within the US? or
internationally?
You really need to know or hypothesize why students are dropping out. If
it is to work and increase their family's income perhaps your answer is
some program that would help the family have more to live on so students
could stay in and finish school.
Hope this helps. Let us know if you need anything further.

Many thanks for the pointers to the newspaper sites. They are down at the
moment but it looks like an excellent source.
I had already looked at the company sites you mentioned. Eberhard Faber de
Venezuela, it turns out was merged into Sanford Faber de Venezuela in 1998.
The Faber companies are related which made finding that particular
subsidiary tricky - but it is separate from the Faber Castell - what an
empire!
Many thanks again for the search tips!

>> What is the distribution and income levels in Libya?
Have found nothing about Libya in:
Intl Monetary Fund, Intl Financial Statistics Yearbook
Intl Labor Organization, Yearbook of Labor Statistics, 2000
UN Development Program, Human Development Report, 1998
Europa Yearbook gives the Libyan GDP and what segments make it
up, by percent of money contributed and of workforce employed.
Sample: mining contributes 25.8% of the GDP and engages 2.5%
of the workforce. Let us know if that information helps you at
all.
Seems the Libyan Mission to the UN may be your best bet for
further information.
Thank you for your time and the information.

My book club is interested in learning more about Islam, but would like a fictional format, much like reading Jeff Shaara's "The Killer Angels" to learn more about the Battle of Gettysburg and the Civil War. Thank you.
Marianne Kranz, our library's book club facilitator suggests these books
for your club:
Satanic Verses, Salman Rusdie
---well known, easy to obtain
The Spider's House, Paul Bowles
---would be our choice for our book club (though Ms. Kranz has not read
this book; easy to obtain and Mr. Bowles is a good writer)
The Mahadi, A. J. Quinnell
---not in print, can order throught ILL or purchase through bookfinder.com
You can find reviews/summaries of these books on Amazon.com
If you have any questions please let us know

query: Our patron would like to know if
an edition of "Call of the Wild" by Jack London exists that has
been especially edited for grade-school age children (5th grade).
According to LIBRIS there are several editions of this book edited/adapted
for younger readers. One of them is owned by Pequannock Library's
Children's Dept. and is currently available for circulation. It is adapted
by D. J. Arneson and is part of the Young Collector's Illustrated Classics
series. This book is out of print.
If your patron wants to purchase an adapted book these publishers have
items in stock:
Scholastic Paperbacks/2001 (800) 242-7737
Simon & Schuster Juvenile/1999 (800) 223-2336
Demco Media Distribution/1996 (800) 448-8939
It would probably be a good idea to speak with these publishers before
ordering to ensure that these books are indeed adaptations (LIBRIS says
they are for grades 3-6, but does not list another author/adapter.)
