More free multilingual computer training

Warren Cheetham (Information Services Librarian for Thuringowa Library Services in Queensland, Australia) e-mailed me about another source for multilingual computer materials.  Libraries in Australia created the MyLanguage site: "a resource tool to assist library staff to provide and enhance library services to culturally and linguistically diverse communities."  The site includes collections of resources in dozens of languages, with various materials for each language--including computer skills, health information, etc.  What a fabulous resource! 

This is something that I could see the American Library Association successfully imitating.  With such a diverse population in the U.S., resources like this would help those of us on the front lines tremendously.
