For Self-learning Librarians

Legal or corporate, medical or special, academic or public . . .If there's one thing that unites all librarians, it is our passion for lifelong learning.
And that is why Self Made Scholar, at http://selfmadescholar.com/b/ is one of my favorite destinations on the Web. The bibliography on lifelong learning is extensive, as are the lists of hyperlinks to free courses, free books, and learning communities.
