12:44 Travish: how old would Nirvana be today? i need a primary source.
12:46 Unknown Librarian of Unknown Origins: Hello. The Almanac of Famous People says the group fromed in 1987.
12:48 Travish: thank you! I have to go to weightlifting class! My name is travish
…
Travish’s Commentary:
I don’t think the Almanac of Famous People is a primary source. It SOUNDS like a tertiary source.
Question: What are days of future past?
[Big City Reference Libarian 10:45:28]: Librarian ‘(Censored)’ has joined the session.
[BCRL 10:45:32]: Hello. Welcome to the (Censored) Chat Service! I am reviewing your question now. (At the end of our chat session, if the e-mail address you provided is correct, you will receive a complete transcript in your in-box.)
[BCRL 10:46:52]: Are we referring to the new X-men movie that is to hit the movie theater this coming Friday?
[TRAVISH 10:49:11]: Yes, but what does it mean?
[TRAVISH 10:53:32]: I don’t understand what a day of future past is
[BCRL 10:53:59]: Thank you for waiting. In this case, despite much searching, no official dictionary definition was found.
[BCRL 10:54:24]: In this case, it most likely refers to the storyline itself.
[TRAVISH 10:54:31]: I know! It’s like they don’t want you to know what it is!
[TRAVISH 10:54:36]: Oooh
[TRAVISH 10:54:44]: So if I see the movie I will know?
[BCRL 10:54:53]: “Days of Future Past” is a popular storyline in the Marvel Comics comic book The Uncanny X-Men issues #141 and #142, published in 1980. It deals with a dystopian alternative future in which mutants are incarcerated in internment camps.”
[TRAVISH 10:55:39]: So in the future past, mutants are in internment camps?
[BCRL 10:56:05]: Most likely, it is referring to the past of an alternate future timeline.
[BCRL 10:57:30]: In this case, I am afraid that you will have to wait until the movie comes out, watch it or read about it afterwards to find out what it means.
[TRAVISH 10:59:05]: Ok, THANK you for your help
[TRAVISH 10:59:33]: Travish out
[TRAVISH 10:59:37]: Patron ended chat session.
[BCRL 11:01:59]: Anytime! Thank you for using (Censored) Chat Service, and have a nice day. All the best! Bye now.

Travish’s Commentary:
Great news, I can’t wait to send things to Arn Anderson’s house. I already tweeted Carl Weathers, and he responded! Though he did make sure to tell me that there “ain’t gonna be no retweet”
13:10 Travish: Hello, I’m not certain he would write me back but I really NEED David Mendenhall’s autograph. How can I write to him?
13:11 Chat Reference Liberrian From A Public University: Hi! Let me see if I can find an address online
Travish’s Commentary:
Travish: Does he give autographs?
[Libarian From Texas 14:31:21]: Hi! I’m a librarian with (Censored) Public Library in Texas. I’m helping your librarians by answering questions for them right now.
[LIT 14:31:25]: Did you have a reference question I can help you with today?
[Travish 14:33:02]: Yes, I am obsessed with the Indian (Native American)
and the Cupboard. I am looking for a mailing address
[LIT 14:34:30]: Are you looking for contact information for Lynne Reid Banks (author of The Indian in the Cupboard).
[Travish 14:36:53]: Yes. He needs to make out the autograph to Travish, that’s my name. Will he NEED my address?
[Travish 14:37:33]: I think it’s kind of an old book, if that helps
[LIT 14:38:19]: You can contact Lynne Reid Banks through her website: http://www.lynnereidbanks.com/contact.html
[Travish 14:39:02]: No, I NEED his mailing address
[Travish 14:39:11]: Thank you for finding that though
[LIT 14:39:28]: You can also contact her mailing address through her pubisher, Harper Collins.
[LIT 14:39:36]: Lynne Reid Banks
c/o Author Mail, 18th Floor
HarperCollins Children’s Books
10 East 53rd Street
New York, NY 10022
[LIT 14:40:22]: The email form might get you quicker response since it will go directly to her or to her team.
[LIT 14:40:51]: Is there anything else I can help you with today?
[Travish 14:40:57]: Wow, that IS a tough decision
[LIT 14:41:23]: You can always try both. Is there anything else I can help you with today?
[Travish 14:42:29]: This is a New York address, I thought he lived in the United Kingdom (Great Britain)
[LIT 14:42:46]: It is the address for her U.S. publisher.
[Travish 14:43:34]: Oh, I see. Does that mean I will need to use extra stamps?
[LIT 14:44:12]: I would think if you are just sending a regular letter, one stamp should suffice.
[LIT 14:45:29]: My chat time is ending soon. Is there anything else I can help you with today?
[Travish 14:46:19]: Just one more question. Do you think he will NEED my address?
[LIT 14:46:58]: Yes, if you are requesting an autograph she will need to know where to send it to.
[Travish 14:47:42]: Ok, thank you for your assistance
[LIT 14:48:07]: Thank you for using our service. Please log in again if you need further assistance. Goodbye.

Travish’s Commentary:
Lynne Reid Banks emailed me and wanted to know why I can’t receive mail at home. I said the answer is that my dad is a dumb jerk. I REALLY hope Lynne Reid Banks sends me an autograph. He seems very nice, though he did call me “Travis.” MY NAME IS TRAVISH!
Travish: What comes after a tertiary source?
Libarian From An “Online” School In England: Welcome. We will be with you shortly…
LFA”O”SIE: Hi, welcome to the Webchat service. I can help answer your questions about (Censored) Library services and resources. Please may I have your (Censored) identifier (PI) or staff number?
Travish: Almost forgot to mention! My name is Travish.
LFA”O”SIE: Do you mean Primary and Secondary sources?
Travish: Exactly, although…I meant what comes after tertiary. Example: 1) Primary. 2) Secondary. 3) Tertiary 4) ???
LFA”O”S:IE I think its quaternary
LFA”O”SIE: After that its quinary, senary, septenary, octonary, nonary, and denary if you need them!
Travish: I am amazed!
LFA”O”SIE: All part of the service
Travish: Would you be able to give an example of a quaternary source? I understand the first two, and I THINK wikipedia is an example of tertiary. But I have no clue as to what comprises a quaternary source.
LFA”O”SIE: Not sure it relates to sources in industry it refers to industries providing information services
Travish: Thank you, I’m afraid I must be off now. Sadly, I’m running late for a weight training.
LFA”O”SIE: Ok – Bye – K

Travish’s Commentary:
I am so confused!

00:58 Unnamed Liberry Libarian From A University: one moment
00:59 ULLFAU: http://www.forvo.com/word/belarusian/
01:00 Travish: Thanks, I thought it was Bella-Russian
01:00 Traish: I have to go to my weight lifting class now, I hope you are right about this
…
Travish’s Commentary:
I am still not convinced that it isn’t Bella-Russian, but I didn’t have time to ask further. I got laughed out of my weight lifting class.
20:32 Travish: My name is Travish. I am trying to identify a song from a movie.
20:32 Travish: Can you help me with this??
20:33 Liberryian From Some Libary That I Forgot: Thank you for your question. What song?
20:33 Travish: I’m not sure
20:33 Travish: I think it is by that Van Halen guy
20:34 LFSLTIF: What movie was it used in?
20:34 Travish: I don’t know the name
20:36 LFSLTIF: You could try the Internet Movie Database (IMDB) and type in Van Halen and see if their songs are listed.
20:36 Travish: it’s not by Van Halen
20:37 Travish: The movie was about a boy and his father. Rick Zumwalt was in it.
20:39 LFSLTIF: Rick Zumwalt has been in several movies – Batman returns (1992).
20:40 Travish: I like that one! But I don’t think that is the one I am think9ing of
20:41 Travish: It was in the 80s
20:41 LFSLTIF: He was in Father Hood (1993) – about a deadbeat dad.
20:42 Travish: i have not seen that
20:42 Travish: i just remembered, it has STALLONE in it
20:43 LFSLTIF: Over the Top ( 1987)
20:43 Travish: Yes, that looks right!!
20:44 Travish: But what is the song? I NEED to KNOW
20:45 LFSLTIF: The database I’m using doesn’t have a summary of the movie.
20:45 Travish: It’s about a boy and his father and Rick Zumwalt
20:46 Travish: How can I find out the song?
20:48 LFSLTIF: There’s a summary on Wikipedia ( www.wikipedia.org) that inclids tsongs from the soundtrack. “Winner Takes it All” – Sammy hagar is the first song listed.
20:48 Travish: Sammy Hagar! Yes! The Van Halen guy!!
20:48 Travish: Thank you
20:49 LFSLTIF: You’re welcome. Thank you for your question.
20:49 Travish: I have to go to my weight lifting class now

Travish’s Commentary:
