This week the WELSTech Podcast summer WELS Hacker series kicks off with a discussion of Windows 7 Libraries and free eBooks.

The discussion:

Wearing a White Hat – Today marks the beginning of the summer WELS Hacker series.  Martin and Sallie share tips, tricks and helpful hacks on their blogs and discuss them on these abbreviated podcasts.  The inaugural topics include
