Thing #13 Week 6:Tagging and Del.icio.us

I can see how tagging can be so useful and quite user-friendly because it is fresh, unconventional, and it does not adhere to controlled vocabulary that perhaps might exclude some user groups.


What I like about Del.icio.us is that it reflects communication as we use it and understand it. The ease of use and practicality of this social bookmarking site definitely allows for library users to keep current of latest best practices and methodologies that have already been tried and tested. I can see how using Del.icio.us for online reference can be a boon for my library. I created a Del.icio.us account, and I also installed the toolbars so that I can quickly get to my account, to save bookmarks, and to view it online. My delicious link is http://delicious.com/carmenescamilla
There are so many people networked and commenting on library related events that by subscribing to these sites, I feel better informed of the latest news that relate to my profession.
