 The `--library-path` (`-L`) option allows you to add directories to the library
 search path used by `rustdoc` when it builds and tests the examples. Multiple
 directories can be specified with multiple options (`-L foo -L bar`) or with a
-comma-delimited list (`-L foo,bar`).
+comma-delimited list (`-L foo,bar`). The path should point to the Cargo 
+[build cache](https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/guide/build-cache.html) `deps` directory that
+contains the build output of your project. For example, if your Rust project's book is in a directory
+named `my-book`, the following command would include the crate's dependencies when running `test`:

+```shell
+mdbook test my-book -L target/debug/deps/
