Del.icio.us

I really like Del.icio.us, and I can see how this would be useful for research purposes, especially collaborative research, or maybe for those who telecommute or participate in online learning. I know that some libraries have sections with links that cover resources patrons may find useful for a myriad of purposes (homework help, restaurant reviews, book clubs), and I can see where this would be really useful and an innovative way for libraries to reach patrons. Setting up an account with del.icio.us was easier than I thought it was going to be. I initially had some trouble figuring out what I was looking at when reviewing the PLCMCL2 account, but after I set up an account of my own, it was easier for me to understand what I was looking at. One of the girls in my last class used del.icio.us to organize the links she needed for doing her research paper, and I can see where this makes a lot of sense. My del.icio.us page is http://del.icio.us/MissMelissy
