Instructions for Accessing the CSLP Manual Online (PDF)
The online manual is now accessible on the CSLP website, and libraries should have received their USB drives in the NCLS delivery. If you've got your heart set on having the actual binder in front of you, there is one print copy of the 2018 manual that is barcoded and can be checked out. Just search "CSLP" or "Libraries Rock" in Workflows and place your hold!
