M: How much will that cost?
W:We have several options ranging from one hundred thousand dollars all the way up to half a million.

Conversation Two
W:Sir, youve been using the online catalogue for quite a while.Is there anything I can do to help you?
M:Well, Ive got to write a paper about Hollywood in the 30s and 40s, and Im really struggling.There are hundreds of books, and I just dont know where to begin.
W:Your topic sounds pretty big.Why dont you narrow it down to something like...uh...the history of the studios during that time?
M:You know, I was thinking about doing that, but more that 30 books came up when I typed in movie studios.
W:You could cut that down even further by listing the specific years you want.Try adding 1930s or 1940s or maybe Golden Age.
M:Golden Age is a good idea.Let me type that in ...Hey, look, just 6 books this time.Thats a lot better.
W:Oh...another thing you might consider...have you tried looking for any magazine or newspaper articles?
