Docs for Dummies . . . or rather, Newbies

The Lamont Reference Manual now includes a link to Lamont-SSP Training Materials from the main page. Four types of information, at the moment, are populating this section: 1) policies and procedures that are new or undefined and which might become, eventually, part of an FAQ for Level B; 2) a list of actual documents-type questions we've encountered at the desk so far; 3) a "How to Find" section (in which some general finding principles for things like Senate Resolutions, for example, are enumerated); and 4) Docs "Cheat Sheets" (SuDoc general agency classifications, for example).

When you learn something new or essential, consider adding that information to the wiki in one of the sections. Or if the categories don't fit, create one of your own. Sharing is how we'll build a common skill set, given our different schedules, partners, and experiences at the combined SSP-Undergraduate Reference Desk.
