Advising 2nd Level Clarified Information Need
2nd Level occurs if the information gathered at Level 1 is diffused and if Xie responds to the IP’s clarifying questions.
At this point the IP can more accurately access Xie's real need and advise him to either contact a local University with access to databases like Lexis/Nexis or PAIS, the Library of Congresses Virtual Reference Desk, an information broker or . .
The IP may take on a networking role in addition to the advising role and suggest Xie contact other entities & individuals that may be able to help him further. *This was our next step.*

Individuals GLOBALink’s website to find individual contacts - http://member.globalink.org/intdir/ would be an excellent resource.
Also the IP may selectively find other individual contacts at reputable institutions.
Dr. Ximming Deng, Professor of Medicine at University of Florida Shands Cancer Center, received a grant from the Tobacco Settlement Research Institute and may be a good link due to their shared cultural heritage since he is a foreign national.
