My thoughts on del.icio.us
After I created a del.icio.us account one of the first tags I searched for was 23things. I was not surprised to find lots of pages with this tag. I also looked at the popular tags. One tag called 'howto' intrigued me. I found a great page with this tag called "25 tutorials for the web minded". This site provides links to commercial as well as free tutorial sites. It also had a tag "tutorials". This tag listed many of the same pages. One good site I found with these tags was http://www.w3schools.com/default.asp
Del.icio.us would enable librarians across multiple campuses to pool their knowledge about the best sites in a particular subject area. Lists of useful webpages could be compiled collaboratively by a group of librarians, teachers, or students.

Rollyo (Task 12)
I think this site would be useful for my work as a liaison librarian. I created two Rollyos - one for 'justice studies' and one for 'social science publishers'. I am hoping the publishers' Rollyo will prove useful as a way of searching sites for information about new titles. Initially I added about five sites but I could build this search list over time into a really comprehensive search tool. Similarly, the Rollyo on Justice includes lots of crime statistics and research sites, such as the Australian Institute of Criminology and the Crime and Misconduct Commission. Both sites produce a large number of free, but good quality, publications.
