I started to use del.icio.us a few months ago and have really enjoyed it. I love being able to put my own tags on information and finding out what others are reading. Quite often, I am led to related articles that are very useful to me and my patrons. Also, I had been finding it very cumbersome to try to locate my favorites or bookmarks.
In response to the question in this week's exercise about Social Bookmarking, I do think that these tools can be beneficial to librarians in their work with MLA or MAC Chapters. Most of us spend a good deal of time collaborating with each other on various projects or papers. For example, if a group is involved in a marketing project, we can find great information about what other chapters are doing, or a paper or poster presented, tag it and then share it with our group.
Up until this time, I had been reading about Library 2.0 tools. Now, I intend to use them on a daily basis to organize my time.
