A blog of my responses and reflections on web 2.0 applications and how they relate to my work in public libraries. Should be fun.

Week 7: Tagging


Del.icio.us is a good thing. One place that everyone can get access where all those useful URL's can live.
We often get emails saying "...this site is great, check it out..." or "...we had an assignment, this site was good...". And they are good sites, but even if you do save it into your favourites (and I'm not one to use favourites much) you can never find them when it's required.
A library wide del.icio.us account, a one stop shop for all library staff to add and use. If we wanted to be fancy we could even use dewey or LC subject headings for bundle tags to keep a standard that everyone would understand.
It's very easy to see how del.icio.us would be very useful in the library.
