Open Courseware & The Obsessive Librarian

Obsessive? Perhaps.
Anyway isn't the culture of collaboration what the Internet / WWW was all about before, well, before it was hijacked by the proliferation of "corporate" websites trying to flog us stuff we don't know we want and certainly don't need. Incidentally, at the beginning these websites learned all their e-commerce tricks from pornography websites. As the man said, pornography who really cares?, propaganda all is phony.
But we digress.
As has been mentioned here before there's a lot of good, free educational material out there. The US-based (biased?) Education Portal has aggregated what they see as the best of this - Free Online Courses & Education. There are links to, amongst others, courses in business, Linux, Unix, computer networking, financial education, programming, marketing, etc., etc. Not all suitable for FE but worth a look, certainly for those students (& staff) who aspire to something Higher.
The list of courses could easily be added to. We'll obsess about that later.
