The ultimate department library?

Often times we get asked for recommendations on technical books. Sometimes someone is teaching a class, sometimes someone is writing a paper, sometimes a person is looking for a little extra when preparing for an exam.

We're happy to give our opinions, but would like to know what you think. Many of you have taken the classes, taught the courses, or kept yourselves up to date on all the latest info. We want to give you the opportunity to share your recommendations with your peers.

If you were building the ultimate department library, looking to touch all major topics, what books would you choose? Are there older, out of print books that should be included? Topics can include anything you feel important. Some suggestions would be Management, Officer Training, HazMat, Building Construction, Pumping Apparatus, Rescue, or anything else you feel is important. Leave your list in the comments section where everyone can take a look. We'll put them all together and post the ultimate department library.

Also, I'm sure there are some subjects that you can't find info on, or you feel should be covered more in depth. Here's your chance to let us know what those subjects are. We'll not only post the list so you can offer suggestions to each other, but we'll also pass it along to the publishers so they know what there's a demand for.

As always you can follow us on Twitter @FSPbooks, become a fan on Facebook, or visit us online at www.Fire-Police-EMS.com.
