　Narrator

　　Listen to part of a conversation in a library.

　　Librarian

　　Hi. Can I help you?

　　Student

　　Yeah, I’m looking for a reference book.

　　Librarian

　　OK. Do you know the title?

　　Student

　　Well, that’s the thing. I’m not exactly sure what I’m looking for. I need uh, information on European demographics.

　　Librarian

　　OK, do you just need population statistics, like, total population, male-female…real basics for demographics?

　　Student

　　Yeah. Population, literacy rate, uh, let’s see…life expectancy by gender, like if women tend to live longer than men…things like that.

　　Librarian

　　OK, well, I-I’m pretty sure you can get most—if not all—of those statistics from an atlas. I can tell you where to find one in the reference section.

　　Student

　　Yeah, but I’m kind of looking for it by city, not by country and the atlas I saw…

　　Librarian

　　[understanding the problem]

　　Uh huh…I see…

　　Student

　　Well, do you know if there are any other reference books I can use for this? To find the statistics by city?

　　Librarian

　　[stumped, but trying to think of something]

　　City, you say.

　　Any particular part of Europe? Eastern, western…southern?

　　Student

　　No. Pretty much all across Europe.

　　Librarian

　　[Unsure she will be able to help]

　　All of Europe. Hmmm.

　　Y-you know, maybe you could tell me what this is for, I mean, maybe if-if I know, I can help you better.

　　Student

　　Yeah, OK. Geography with Professor Miller and it’s sort of an analysis of, uh, urban areas, a comparison of population trends and uh economic indicators, social indicators, I guess…

　　Librarian

　　[running out of ideas]

　　OK, well, there’s something called the Demographic Yearbook, but it’s—but I don’t think it’s gonna do it by city.

　　Student

　　Yeah, I think that’s just by country.

　　Librarian

　　You’ve already looked at it? I think, I-I think you’re right, but I’m just gonna check it first, ’cause it would be easy if it were there.

　　[looking through the book]

　　Yeah. Population. By country…OK let’s see. Did you, I mean, did your professor give you any ideas on where to look? I mean, because, if you need the demographic information by city…

　　Student

　　No, she-she didn’t. She just gave us the assignment and I figured I could find what I needed here without too much of a problem.

　　Librarian

　　Yeah, it should be easier than this. I mean, I know there’s one for North American cities, but I don’t think that’ll be a big help.

　　Student

　　Nah.

　　Librarian

　　Tell you what. Let’s go over to the reference section. Let’s take a look around that area and see if anything looks promising.
