Where yo books on mythology at?

One long reference interview later, I learn that he wants information about the Mesopotamian gods Tiamat and Apsu, because they were mentioned on the internet but 'I don't trust computers for various reasons.' We find references to them in the indices of a couple of books on Mesopotamian history, but honestly I think he's more disappointed than pleased.

      Indeed! Well, it was an interesting one, at least. He stressed me out because (like many patrons) he doesn't understand that we have neither memorized nor have the ability to look up every single thing in every single book without checking the book itself. While we were still at the reference desk he kept saying "All I'm asking you is, do you have a book with that information in it or not!?"

      that would be extremely stress-inducing
