Five Weeks to a Social Library

The Five Weeks to a Social Library course is drawing to a close. This is "the first free, grassroots, completely online course devoted to teaching librarians about social software and how to use it in their libraries". There are webcasts and links concerned with blogs, RSS & Social Bookmarking, wikis, Social Networking, Flickr and MMOGs, and "Selling Social Software". The course itself was limited in numbers of delegates, but the content is there free for anyone to use. My only problem at the moment is that I haven't got time to explore it properly, as there is lots of interesting stuff. The website is: http://www.sociallibraries.com/course/
