| All the books for my workshops are on reserve at KSU's Main Library or
in the SLIS office in the State Library of Ohio (N Fourth Street at 1st
Avenue) in Columbus.
You may be able to find the titles in your library's collection. If
not, you may read the
optional reading assignment. You do not have to read both.
None of the books for my workshops are ordered by the University's
bookstore. I do not require that you purchase the books, just review
the assigned chapters. If you have questions or problems finding the books, contact
me at
