Special thanks to the librarian for her excellent advise [sic] & patience assisting me in my search. Extremely helpful. Thank you.
I worked with a very patient librarian who appears to be very professional and well-experienced at what she does
The librarian showed me plenty of useful resources online for my sociology project. Very helpful and informative.
