How can I hire a researcher (librarian?) for a short-term project?
October 30, 2020 9:18 AM
We are making a commemorative book for one of our clients (M&M's candies). We are trying to include some "feel-good" quotes about the M&M's brand - anything that has been said about the brand, in trade magazines, song lyrics, printed books, said in the news...anything positive. Because this is a work project I can throw some money at this but am having trouble finding a researcher.
I have tried upwork with little success. Is there somewhere I can hire a librarian and/or researcher (ideally with access to resources that I don't have) to search for things that have been said about the brand? Thanks for any advice!

Hi, I used to work at the Pima Air and Space Museum in Tucson. Mr. Mars gives generously to them and has a free kids event every year with Mars candy prizes and activities.

I would do this! Feel free to DM me, but if you want a larger range of options you can look at INALJ (I need a library job) who has paid and free job posting options. But honestly MeFi Jobs would probably be fine for this too.

There are a shit ton of museum people out of work right now, and the vast majority of them have professional research skills. Take a look at MuseumExperts.org.
