A librarian, professor, or student can contact CRL’s Head of Membership Development and Engagement, Mary Wilke [2], with a question or problem. She can help identify:

• material of interest to the researcher
• material for classroom use
• specific pieces needed from a set
• possible material for purchase using one of the Cooperative Resource Development Programs [3] 
• possible donors to digital projects
• partners to supply missing material for digital project.

These reference consultations have resulted in:

• Identified material from the Hamburgishes Kolonialinstitut [4] for a professor interested in German colonialism  
• Identified English-language Middle Eastern newspapers for an undergraduate class using the Six-Day War to teach historical methods [5]
• Identified reels of a missionary archive microform set to be purchased through the Demand Purchase Program [6] for a student dissertation
• Finding a donor willing to supply missing issues of the Federal Reserve Bulletin [7] for a digital project at the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis
