Del.icio.us

Wow! My advice to you is this: Do not visit del.icioi.us if you have any schedule plans or activities for the next several hours. What you can learn and do with del.icio.us is addicting! The 8-minutes video clip was a nice overview. I first searched under popular bookmarks. The first entry was “10 fresh tools and resources for web developers”. Some of this was above my meager understanding, but there were some very interesting tools that could be added to ones blog! Next listed was “15 Dazzling Modern Library Designs”. If you want to see the “wave of the future”, check these out! via weburbanist.com The New National Library in the Czech Republic was 3 dimensional definitely for the 3rd millennium. When it is completed it will hold 10 million volumes. Another cool architectural design was the Central Library in Seattle and the Ballard Library in Seattle which is all about “green” and has an innovative “green roof” where native grasses grow. You can even see library designs that are still on the drawing board. What a great use of creative minds! Libraries are amazing places and books are cool-so why not look the part? You’ll have to restrain yourself from looking on more popular bookmarks and tags. Del.icio.us would be very helpful in my library both for students and teachers, but also a wealth of knowledge for the librarian. I searched for “school librarian” and received 3,127 results. Many of these useful places I plan to return to such as, Library Success: A Best Practices Wiki (here I found links to collaboration with teachers and students). Also listed were 100 Best B logs for School Librarian and PB Librarian Chick, a collection of links to the best of FREE internet resources. There was also the Librarian’s Internet Index and Teacher Librarian Network both of which will be very useful to librarians. I can’t wait to share this with everyone.
Del.ici.us is simply “delicious”!
