The Pratt course will be offered again, 5 Saturdays following July 4th
weekend.


I suggest finding the nearest map collection, and volunteering, if
possible. Nothing like handson experience to learn the ropes.

There will be a brief workshop for beginners at ALA's annual conference in
Orlando this June.

Read Mary Larsgaard's tome, and take it to heart.

All the best,
