Thing 6

I learned new tricks today about bookmarks, tags and del.icio.us. Never knew people could organize their interests in this way and tap into those of others, friends, family, etc. Seems there are ever more dimensions to communication being created very day. How can the library use this? Of course the library is the repository of a great chunk of the world's information, so you couldn't have a tag for every subject. But there are obvious ones that patrons would find useful, like fiction, non-fiction, films, audio, crime fiction, etc., and all the other genres of fiction. Patrons could be encouraged to add their own candidates for tags
