Social Bookmarking / Delicious
The RRC committee considered delicious as an option for the AACPL Recommended Sites this year. I created a delicious account for two of the categories. We decided it wasn’t quite friendly enough and we couldn’t make it look as nice as we wanted so we didn’t choose to go with delicious.
Every branch was giving a delicious account to use if they wanted for their information desk computers. I did add lots of entries to the NCO one. http://delicious.com/aacplnco
This delicious site is on all the information desk computers at NCO. It includes the ‘favorites’ of the NCO staff plus many of the most used sites in Recommended Sites. I use it all the time now. I prefer delicious at times over the recommended sites because it is faster to search.
I like being able to tag the entries with words I use and can remember and other people can use the words / tags they want to and they are all there for everyone to see and use.
Delicious is very easy to use. I AM glad they did away with all the periods in their name because that was just confusing.
I also created my own personal delicious account for my personal use. It includes many of the ones I use at work, too. http://delicious.com/dbmatt
