I took a neat class this week called Delicious at the Ref Desk. It was all about using the social bookmarking site Delicious to create a network of useful web sites for use at library service desks. You can get a flavor of the opportunities by viewing the class blog. Annette Gaskins at Harford was the primary driver of this course. Definitely start with the "Social Bookmarking in Plain English" video.
I think it would benefit us as a small staff with diverse knowledge and abilities. Each branch would get their own Delicious account and include the others in their network. We each could add the web sites and apply as many tags (descriptive terms) as we want. Then we would make sure that Delicious opened on each staff machine. Staff could search for tag names within the network and retrieve a list of web sites to use to answer patron questions.
What do you think? It might be easier than creating a shared bookmarks file across the system.
SLRC's Sights and Sounds has created a Delicious site and so has Harford. take a look.

I think so too, it would benefit us as a small staff with diverse knowledge and abilities. Every time I try use all new information in best term papers. Also, I use information from https://apcentral.collegeboard.org/courses/ap-research/exam?course=ap-research, http://guides.library.cornell.edu/c.php?g=32323&p=203726.
