Yes, I have been to workshops like this offered by libraries, and I 
was underimpressed.  Most of the advice simply did not apply to my 
discipline. One of the most important parts of sourcing is figuring 
out which sources are good (or, given two source, which is better?), 
and that depends a lot on each area.
