I'm just now reading through this thread so I don't know if anyone else has 
answered this yet or not, so ...

We sorted into some basic categories:

- good consultation (don't know who got this pile)
- duplicates of good consultation (went to Gunnvor for Bordure)
- "research" - went to Clare

Research was stuff that was not stuff we hand to submitters at consultation 
tables - either because the source takes skill to use (like knowing that if 
Hanks and Hodges dates a name as modern, it probably is and if they date it 
to period, it probably is, but if they give a general description, then all 
bets are off), or because it's very specialized (some of the armory research 
books in there).

I would not expect that any sources in that pile would really need to go to 
Warlord.  My bet is that we won't get but maybe one person who might need one 
thing from all of those books.

What that library is really useful for is someone in the CoH who is doing in-
depth research on some particular area of naming or armory.

I have a "book checklist" we put together for the Gulf Wars consult table 
awhile back and can forward it to this list, if folks want.

Also, if anyone has a submitter who is planning on stopping by the table with 
a specific need, that would be good to post to this thread (and folks may 
already have).  That would let those of us with limited space in the car 
target which "oddball" sources to bring.
