My colleagues will love this!

I got to thinking this morning about all of the wonderful new things we learned about this week. And the one that seems the most impressive to me is del.icio.us. I love that you can keep have as many favorites pages as you want without the tediousness of sorting through them from your computer - trying to remember where that one webpage is. Sifting through and realizing you never go there. It's easily forgotten about. But with del.icio.us you can gather as many websites as you want, organize them easily, share them with others, and search other people's favorites for similar topics. Plus, you can access it from any computer, anywhere!

 Next, I was wondering how this could be used in the library. I think it would be great if each faculty member took their interests and shared them with others. The library exists to share information with patrons in the most accessible manner. Why not include the foundation of the library? Its employees. You could see not only research interests of your coworkers, but also their general interests. I think that this new technology could be educational and engaging for library staff.

 Del.icio.us is definitely has applications in the library profession.
