Week 6 - Del.icio.us and Web 2.0

I'm not a big fan of using tags myself.. I prefer to bookmark stuff, but I can see how people would find this appealing... its an interesting application. And also very handy if you want to access stuff you use regularly but are a user of multiple compluters.
I've seen it on Flickr and some other sites before, but never really had the time to check it out properly.

Web 2.0.. the buzz word in libraries today. We all know that we are providing access to more and more electronic books, but what good are these if people don't know that they are there and how to get to them?! Someone commented on the PLCMC website that they hoped that Library systems would help people take the leap off the cliff into cyberspace... well I don't think its something that library systems can do, however, we can make that leap a bit more easier by providing users with an easy to use, interactive system and also by providing someone for them to talk to if they have problems.
