Method 7 Delicious
I set up a Delicious Account at home for my personal email and only had minor problems. It seems easy to use but I found that I could only use one word as a tag at a time which of course is the purpose of tagging but I think that sometimes two is necessary. I was looking up car rental websites for a future trip and somehow the separate words car and rental just didn't seem enough. I do like the fact that I can have my bookmarks on different computers, for as a librarian I am always using two computers, one in the office and one at the reference desk. The librarians can share and add websites and tags. I see Delicious not replacing subject heading but as an addition tool. When everyone can add tags, Delicious becomes more adaptable to new words than subject headings are. I know that young people would enjoy this as their vocabulary is constantly changing.
