This was great!

I was given a reference question that required me locating the source for archived newspaper articles from a defunct Baltimore newspaper.  An online Google search took me to the Enoch Pratt Free Library of which I am familiar from working and living in Baltimore earlier in my career. 

Their site informed me they did have on microfilm the newspaper I needed during the time frame needed.  From there I was guided to participate in a live chat with a reference librarian.  They got back to me immediately and gave me the phone number to call the proper reference librarian in Baltimore.

From that phone call I now have them working on locating the aricle for me and it will be mailed to the SRML library when it is located.  Today technology is my wonderful friend.  It has moved beyond the acquaintance stage of relationships.
