<jats:p>A pressing task facing reference librarians in public and academic libraries in the 1990s has been helping downsized workers find sources for job hunting. Most libraries carry sources on job hunting and how‐to books on resume wiriting. Libraries also need to provide sources that help people who lose their jobs find out what programs and benefits are available to help them survive during financially lean times and how to deal with the emotional and psychological problems they face. A review of the monographic lieterature published between 1990 and 1996 reveals few titles that deal with emotional and psychological problems resulting from job loss. For this article, the authors selected titles from that period that are in print and provide coping strategies and practical solutions to people in and out of the workplace.</jats:p>
