The library is so Del.icio.us!

Have you discovered Del.icio.us yet?

If you haven't, you're in for a treat (and read on...)!

If you have discovered this social bookmarking site already, then check out the library's Del.icio.us site and start using our bookmarked Internet sites at: http://del.icio.us/waynelibrary.

So, what is social bookmarking, you ask?

It's one of the newest customizable web features that allows Internet users to keep track of their favorite websites, just like saving bookmarks or "favorites" in your Internet browser. These bookmarks, though, you can access from anywhere you have an Internet connection. You can take your favorites with you wherever you go! Even better, you can share your bookmarks with others and see what other people have bookmarked.

Consider this research scenario:
Your in a class and are assigned a project to work with a group of classmates. Each of you are gathering websites on your topic, but you are not sure if you're duplicating what others have collected. Now you can create Del.icio.us accounts and easily access each other's bookmarks and share them as needed. Or, check out the library's del.icio.us page and see if we have some sites that we recommend on your topic.

Be sure to use the "tagging" feature that allows you to create keyword headings for each of your bookmarks so that they can be sorted and organized in a way that works for you.
