Julian called "Outline History of the Julian and Hoover Families."  I 
found mention of this work in a brief biographical entry reprinted on a 
web site.  I subsequently searched World Cat with no luck then tried 
Heritage Quest and Ancestry LE to see what I could find.  I did find a 
couple of articles in PERSI related to the Julian family and another 
biographical entry for Isaac H. in ALE but nothing referred to that 
history of the two families....

   I doubt that you are going to find a publication by this name in any 
"normal" library. Perhaps in the historical society of the county 
(Wayne, Indiana?) where these families were located. I find just two 
primary references to this publication when I do a google search. In 
one, the phrase
   outline history of the Julian and Hoover families
is used without italics or quote marks, serving (IMHO) only as a 
description of something written by this author. In the other,
   'Outline History of the Julian and Hoover Families'
appears in quotes, an editorial style sometimes used for, for example, 
a magazine article.

   Has your patron participated in the HOOVER online discussion group? 
See <http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~desloan/> for some commentary on 
this group.
