I first learned about Social Bookmarking in a session for VA librarians at MLA in Chicago. Then shortly after that Rebecca Brown offered a couple of one hour web sessions on Del.icio.us. After the second session, I decided to set up an account at work for the convenience of having bookmarks available on more than one computer. Previously I had acquisitions and cataloging bookmarks on one computer and reference bookmarks on another one.
When our IT department upgraded my computer with a new hard drive and a more recent version of Internet Explorer. They thought to back up my Google favorites. But I had a moment of panic related to the Del.icio.us bookmarks. Not to worry, I logged into Del.icio.us and they were all intact just as they had been before the upgrade.
As a result of the upgrade, my Del.icio.us button on the IE toolbar disappeared. Because of this class, I have been motivated to go to the help section and figure out how to get the button back on IE's toolbar.
The Dykes Library bookmarks are much more extensive than mine and very well organzied. I would think students would be interested in many of them. If there is a way to put the link on the Dykes Library webpage my guess is that students might find them useful.
