Thing #13

The way that the Nashville Public Library and TCNJ used del.icio.us is the way we have traditionally used "link to a topic" on our home page. If you click on "college" on Nashville's page you go to a list of sites about financial aid etc. For students/teens it might be easier to get to than our method. One plus for del.icio.us bookmarking is not being tied to one PC. But it also could be a excellent tool for research. "Tags" or subject headings helps you organize the sites and in a much easier way than the folders in favorites. The sharing aspect is also nice if you are doing research, it could save you time by looking at other researchers finds. I found the Ytube explanation of del.icio.us much easier to undertand than the 8 minnute explanation from Otter.
