Hi all,
Thank you for allowing me to barge in on your group. I love what you all have done so far and am looking forward to getting to know everyone and have a productive semester. I added a favorite link; delicious.com. It's a social bookmarking site that I think is really helpful. It allows you to share your bookmarks with others as well as have access to your own personal bookmarks wherever you are. You log in like you would for your email account. It just happens to be another Google App! Check it out. I thought it might fit as your theme is Social Networking for Libraries. I know that many libraries actually use Delicious to keep bookmarks handy for students. It's a very useful tool. The only downfall is that it can get out of hand. As you start to click, sometimes you can't stop, and then you end up with lists and lists and lists. But no matter. Every link is "tagged" and easy to find. I also posted my profile. Thanks again for welcoming me.

I had never seen delicious.com. It looks like a lot of fun. I think you are right and it can have great applications for libraries, but it will take time researching to come up with some. Lots of time, lots and lots, but strictly research, not just playing around with a fun new toy.
