Most likely, if it's not covered in your textbook, your instructor will have to cover it.

Meantime, here's a website that actually sells slide sheets, and you can infer how they're used by looking at the pictures and reading the descriptions.

I did a search on "slide sheets patient transfers" via Yahoo search engine, but you might find more using Google.com or another search engine.
