Thing 11

The beauty of del.icio.us is that it has two levels of use. The first level is for accessing your bookmarks on-line...great for people that regularly use public use computers!! And it also allows them to share their favorite cites with others. Then there is the more academic side to del.icio.us. People doing research can sift through websites for reliable sources. Del.icio.us can also help find more websites on a topic by directing one to others similarily tagged sites.

Libraries can use del.icio.us for staff continuing education. Library favorites could be accessed by staff for further reading. Whether it contains what other libraries are doing for programming or professional sites like ALA.
