We will search our own holdings and those of the Santa Cruz Public Libraries for you. To obtain this research assistance, a modest charge of $20 gets the ball rolling. It entitles you to an initial evaluation and one hour of research time. Many requests can be answered in this time. If more time is required to complete the task, or if new opportunities for further research turn up, we will furnish a report outlining a research plan with an estimate of any additional costs. |
