Date: Tuesday 10 April 2007
Time: 6.30 pm

Anne is part of 'Five weeks to a social library', an innovative and free US-based online course for teaching librarians about social software (such as blogs, RSS, social bookmarking and wikis) and its use in libraries. She will describe the origins of the course and the value of international collaboration, as well as discussing the role of social software in libraries.

Anne Welsh is Information Officer (Bibliographic Services) at national drugs information charity DrugScope, where she has been developing current-awareness services. She is the Editor of Catalogue & Index and its blog and is a regular contributor to conferences and journals.
