In the twenty-first century, many users seek instant gratification when searching library resources: if it is not online, it is not worth pursuing, even if the answers sought may be found in material available in print only. The digitization of older scholarly and related resources is far from complete, and may not happen for years, if ever. It is incumbent upon professional librarians to alert users to this large array of critically important material, available in hard copy only. As these resources may be difficult to find, we must be there to help with this process. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
