The Library Social Widgets Toolkit project at the Library of the London School of Economics & Political Science is a rapid innovation project to improve access to library services through social web applications. The project is intended to develop lightweight modular middleware which will interface between library applications and a range of social widgets designed as part of the project. The widgets are intended to plug into a variety of targets, including institutional portals and social networks. These will be made available as free software via a widget 'toolkit' available to, and accepting contributions from, the rest of the library community.

The project is part of the JISC Rapid Innovations programme.
