The manual is separated into three sections: (1) Library and Reference Knowledge, (2) Learning about Children and Books, and (3) Meeting the Special Needs of Children. The manual contains a suggested list of materials and audiovisual components which are to be assembled into a resource kit by the school library coordinator and used in conjunction with the study guide. Also accompanying the manual are a complete bibliography of resources required for the training program, tests (pre- and post-tests, and unit tests), assignment sheets, and answer keys. Specific topics covered during the training program include the use of the library catalog; Dewey Decimal classification; using encyclopedias, dictionaries, almanacs, atlases, and indexes; the reading needs of children; the history and nature of children's literature; and library services for special students.
