Week 7 - tagging

This week we were asked to create a del.icio.us account. I have found this site to be fairly easy to use and thus would be a useful tool for the library to use. As with the Sutherland Shire del.icio.us page I think that this website could be used as a very useful research tool for library members. Like the Sutherland Shire page we could create a useful site of links on various topics. This could be used to group different areas of research that are well known to the librarians as being used by school students such as the area of study "journey" that many students do in their HSC. As the bookmarks can be searched and anything can be tagged/bokomarked I think it would put a lot of useful information at our members fingertips. It can be used to create a collection of resources on basically any topic which makes it very versitile. Other then using it as a useful research tool it would also be an eay way to group information and have it accessible anywhere so members could not only accesss it here but from home and school. I think this tool would be useful in any library.
