Luckily the library has lots of books for helping with these tasks, since preserving and canning fresh foods is not something I do on a regular basis. I'm only just learning how to freeze certain foods, and the library has books to help me with that too. Great websites that offer tips and recipes for preserving foods are www.mealtime.org and sustainablepantry.com, but to me, nothing beats having an actual book I can hold in my hand and refer to when I get lost.
Some great books on storing foods to check out at the library:
The Preservation Kitchen: The Craft of Making and Cooking With Pickles, Preserves, and Aigre-Doux by Paul Virant
Food in Jars: Preserving in Small Batches Year-Round by Marisa McClellan
Canning For a New Generation: Bold, Fresh Flavors For the Modern Pantry by Liana Krisoff
Preserving Summer's Bounty: A Quick and Easy Guide to Freezing, Canning, Preserving, and Drying What You Grow edited by Susan McClure
Can I Freeze It?: How To Use the Most Versatile Appliance in Your Kitchen by Susie Theodorou

You don't have to have a garden to preserve your own produce -- you can also buy produce in season when it is on sale and cheap, and preserve it for later.
