Check out WebJunction

WebJunction is an online learning community for librarians and library staff. WebJunction has recently launched new social and learning applications. There are three new functions of note:

  • A “friending” utility allowing librarians to connect with friends, peers, and colleagues from across the library community. There are also public profiles, the ability to tag useful bits of information, and recommendations.

  • Librarians can now create their own content with tools provided by the site.

  • There are more flexible online courses covering business, technical, and library skills.
