Crash Course: For All Your Training Needs

The Crash Course series was created for library staff who need basic information on various service-specific topics. The titles in
this series take a simple, “how-to” approach that focuses on providing all the fundamental knowledge needed for day-to-day library
services. The books can serve as handy references, practical workshop guides, or effective training manuals, and will be useful to new
librarians as well as staff who may need refresher information for new areas of responsibility.
