Thing 11--Social Bookmarking

I have recommended this process to colleagues before I used it myself. Now I find it especially helpful. We are going to start teaching the idea to our 7th and 8th graders as a way for them to understand the difference between “desktop” bookmarks and “on-line” bookmarks, and to encourage them to use the web based ones.

I haven’t really thought about using these sites for the library itself. I think it might be very useful for our staff and faculty to use a shared site as a way to make available all of the curriculum resources we have found. Maybe if we were a high school or adult library, these sites would make more sense insofar as it could preempt some questions for the reference people.
