del.icio.us



I have been using several del.icio.us accounts for awhile. We have developed a del.icio.us account for the Reference and Education Services (RES) department of the library, and I have been using a personal account too.

The library account is shared by everyone in the RES department and is often used to highlight important, relevant, and highly useful websites that are frequently consulted as tools for responding to information requests. It is used as an internal tool within the department that allows everyone to have the same access to information resources. Members of the department can add additional resources as found, notifying others in RES that they have added new tools.

Personally, I've used my account for professional and personal links. The professional links are to resources that I frequently consult or that I believe to be relevant to my work. Personal links fall within the areas of sites I think are fun, of interest to me or others that I want to share. In addition, as has been stated previously by others, del.icio.us allows me access to my links no matter where I am. 8->
