The file "LibrariesGuide.lha" is on Aminet 5 CD-ROM March 95 in docs/help 

It is *not* a complete listing of libraries with offsets and registers for 
passing data to the routines. It is merely an overview explaining the 
mechanics of how Amiga shared libraries work with code snipits to 
illustrate.

Besides the ROM Krenal Manuals there is also a book called "Mapping the 
Amiga" by Randy Thompson and Rhett Anderson which covers libraries, 
structures and pre-AGA hardware registers by Compute! books. I'm not sure 
if either of these two resources is still available but are worth it if you 
can find them.
