Week 6: Tagging & Folksonomies and Technorati Thing 13: Deli.cio.us

Del.icio.us
would be a useful tool to access my bookmarks remotely from anywhere. It would be important to critically update or edit my tags for consistency.

Del.icio.us tags or keywords potentially might assist patrons in finding useful information. I found it informative to analyze other tags such as those of SJLibraryLearning2.

As the library media center portal develops and evolves to meet the ongoing needs of patrons, del.icio.us could allow the users to locate and use valuable information such as a pathfinder links. A book discussion group or book review blog could identify tags indicating genre and author or theme as an example.

The libraries such as Menasha Public Library in Wisconsin also used the Dewey Decimal Classification in the del.icio.us tag for its users. As providers, our demonstrated knowledge of available tools sends a welcoming message of collaboration and a willingness for participation by users.
