Tagging and Social Bookmarking

* Can you see the potential of this tool for research assistance?
I've used tags and delicious before, and I definitely can see the potential for a tool like this for research assistance. It reminds me a lot of the link collections that we use in our libguides, but it adds and extra little something that is really good for users. The fact that you can see how many other people have bookmarked a site is very informative and useful. Additionally, the ability to see potentially related tags that can lead you to potentially relevant links, is also unique and helpful.

* Does your library have a social bookmark collection?
Currently we don't. But we do have libguides!
