Deliciously ordered

This is definitely something that I need to get on to - organising my bookmarks/favourites. it gives me the horrors knowing I have so many good sites on my work computer, my home computer and my laptop but to have them organised in one place for access from anywhere, is one of the most useful tools we have looked at in this program.



Then looking at the library sites suggested, my mind has been set racing. I immediately want to organise our library's website in a wholly different way with delicious in the background as done on Cleveland Public Library website. The only problem is that users will take a while to get used to the new arrangement and those unfamiliar with Delicious may be put off by what is essentially another layer between our site and the information sites they are seeking. Library patrons are used to reaching trusted and assessed websites directly through library websites, thus saving them time and search energy. Delicious can appear like a ramble of topics that themselves require ploughing through. It is vitally important that the tags are organised as clearly as possible as Sutherland Shire Libraries have. They seem to have used more tools in Delicious ittself than Cleveland Public Library has.



Setting up my own delicious account was not hard but sitting down and sorting through all my bookmarks and assigning tags will be time consuming, although worth it in the end. I have managed to link to my bookmarks from this blog.
