 NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM OF THE CITY OF GENEVA: Psocoptera: World Catalogue and Bibliography: Subject bibliography
The most important pest genus in Psocoptera is Liposcelis; this genus is explicitly mentioned in many cases, even in "non-pest" references; "(Liposcelis etc.)" indicates that other genera are also treated in the same paper.
In most taxonomic papers, and in particular in regional monographs or monographs of sub-groups of Psocoptera, more or less explicit remarks are also made on morphology, biology, ecology etc. These references are here not always listed under the subject heading(s) concerned.
References concerning the faunistics of particular regions or countries are not listed in the following, they are accessible via the Worldwide country Checklists of Psocoptera species extracted from the World Catalogue and, for most recent data, by searching the different parts of the Additions published in Psocid News (No. 4, 5, 6 etc.).

 Psocoptera
The name Psocoptera is derived from the Greek "psokos" meaning rubbed or gnawed and "ptera" meaning wings.
The order Psocoptera (also known as Corrodentia) contains the booklice and barklice.
Although most Psocoptera are free-living, a few genera live in the nests of birds.

 Psocoptera
The Psocoptera are a group of small soft, stout bodied insects that are hemimetabolous dating back to Permian times.
These insects are often regarded as the most primitive hemipteroids alive today because their mouthparts show the least modification from the primitive mandibulate condition.
However, some species of Psocoptera have become accustomed to live in human buildings feeding on the variety organic matter to be found there.

The Psocoptera are tiny insects that have either four wings, two wings or none at all.
Some of the wingless Psocoptera are called booklice and are found around old books, papers, and in damp, dark rooms.

 What's That Bug:Booklice and Barklice
I have been searching the internet, trying to figure out what kind of bug this is. I know it's some form of a true bug, but cannot pinpoint the species.
According to Eric Eaton, they probably feed on fungus spores which might make them beneficial to your tree.
Also known as "tree cattle," especially in the nymphal stage.  Some species create webbing on the bark, but I have never heard of them becoming pests.  Pretty sure they feed on fungal spores and the like.
