Bookshelf

How to Use
Select a colonist, then right-click the Bookshelf. From the radial menu, select a Job topic to begin learning about. Every Job topic except Combat can be studied to gain experience in that Job without performing its associated tasks.

Tips
Because a Bookshelf can only be used by one colonist at a time, it may be worth the investment of space to build more than one if you are focused on advancing your colonists' Jobs.

Using the Bookshelf to learn about Medicine and Research is one of the most practical ways to begin training new and more effective Doctors and Scholars, respectively.
