Abstract
An economist approached a librarian to help research for an article on game theory and water. This evolved into a 5-year project with a contract for a short monograph. Hundreds of citations were corralled with EndNote Web. Data consistency and accuracy required careful management. Marketing will grow future faculty-librarian collaborations.
