Here is the thing, you want to know about self publishing, but yet I lead you to the guy that is actually getting self-published authors in libraries, so you call his blog worthless.
He makes 7 figures annually self-publishing. He has helped many many authors get started and make good money at writing.
Let me get this straight, you want an isbn, cip, copyright protection and a book in a library that was actually written by someone else years ago.
You need to spend $500 on ISBN's, then spend $$$ to print your book, however much it costs to do that copyright protection and pay someone else for the cip.
And then the chances of getting your ebook in a library are still about the same as without them.

I just did my copyright registration for $55. I believe an ISBN is about $125. I believe a CIP is free if the Library of Congress adds your book to their collection. Otherwise, you can buy it for $100. My book wasn't written by someone else years ago; loosely speaking, it's a derivative.
And, no, the chances of getting it into libraries isn't about the same. It's still a struggle, but the odds are much, much better.
And Konrad, Konroth, Konbutt, or whatever his name is really doesn't have a clue about helping beginners. The organization of his blog says it all. Some people succeed not by offering helpful advice but by simply knowing how to promote themselves. They convince the world that they're hot stuff, and they may indeed be successful on the stage - but they don't know how to teach.
Anything else I can help you with?
