And that's what it's all about, baby!
Some desperate soul comes to the reference desk and says:
"I need to find the dynamic viscosity of seawater. I've looked everywhere in books and online, and I just can't find it."
I have no idea what the dynamic viscosity of seawater is. Heck, I can only hazard a guess at what those words might mean in that particular order. But five minutes later she's walking away with a smile on her face because I tracked down an article that gives her the information she wants.
That's the power of a librarian - we find stuff we didn't even know existed without even knowing what we're looking for.
