I kept getting tripped up with the wording and found the speaker's pronunciation of 'library' distracting. Also, I was multitasking during this training, despite having a 'do not disturb' sign. Sigh. Overall, courses are very helpful.

Content easy to digest, please note that this is the 2011 Yellow Book, not the current 2018 Yellow Book.
