Conversation 1
Narrator
Listen to a conversation between a student and a clerk in the bookstore.
Student
Hi. Can you tell me where to find New Kind of Science? By, uh, by Stephen Wolfram.
Clerk
OK!
Student
...uh, I couldn't find it.
Clerk
OK. Let me look it up on the computer for you. Who would you say the author was?
Student
It's a Stephen Wolfram.
Clerk
OK. Let's see... Hmm... no, it's not coming up. Hmm..,. I am not seeing it.
Student
Um...hmm.
Clerk
This is for a course here at the university, right?
Student
Yeah, It's assigned reading for a class I am taking.
Clerk
It's for the semester, right? You are not buying it in advance for next year or anything.
Student
No, no. It's for a class I am taking now.
Clerk
Hmm...
Student
Oh, oh, you know what? Um, it's for a graduate class. Would that maybe make a difference? I mean, I am an undergrad, but I am just taking this one class in the graduate department, so...
Clerk
No, no. I don't think that's it. That shouldn't make any difference. But, hmm... let me see... maybe it's just...it could be that whoever that entered it misspelled the title or the author's name, so I can't find it on the computer and I can't tell if it's sold out. But if it's sold out, we would probably be getting a new shipment within about a week or so.
Student
Well, uh, I was hoping to get it sooner because like we already have assignments and you know, I mean, I guess I can get it from the library.
Clerk
Right, of course. But I am trying to check. If we've ordered more, then that back orders information should be in the computer too. Let's see... back order... Wolfram, Stephen..,. no, no. I am not seeing it. I am sorry. We just don't seem to carry it.
Student
Uh-huh.
Clerk
This is odd though. What is...what's your professor's name? I could try searching for his or her classes in the database. That might help.
Student
Um...OK. It's professor Kayne.
Clerk
K-A-N-E?
Student
No. It's professor Kayne, K-A-Y-N-E. He's in the computer science department.
Clerk
Oh. It's for a computer science course, is it?
Student
Yeah.
Clerk
Well, that must be it. Computer science books are sold across the street in the computer bookstore.
Student
Are there signs up anywhere?
Clerk
I don't know.
Student
Maybe they should put some up. It could have save us both some time.
Clerk
Yeah. Well, anyway, I'll bet that's the problem. Check across the street. I’ll bet they have it. But if not, come back, and I'll help you find it somewhere else. I can call around to see if other bookstores might have it. OK?
Student
OK. Thanks a lot. Bye!
Clerk
Bye!
