I have heard many people talk about delicious for bookmarking sites, but I've never used it before. I really like the idea. While I don't really need to share bookmarks with other people often, I am always using different computers. Being able to access my bookmarks on any computer is wonderful.
Adding the delicious button to my toolbar was easy. Adding new bookmarks is quick and easy but still give you some options. You can add tags and decide weather or not to share the link right as you create the bookmark. I also like the feature of importing my current bookmarks. The only downside is that going through and adding tags to the imported bookmarks can be time consuming.
This would be a great help for reference or reader's advisory librarians. They can use delicious to create a webliography of relevant and helpful sites. Also, each of the librarians would be able to add new bookmarks that they find helpful.

Heather,
I too am new to the delicious site. As I previously mentioned in one of my posts, I am constantly traveling between computers in various locations and having the ability to store information is essential. I have primarily used the site for searching and haven't yet added the delicious button to my toolbar, but I now know it is easy setup.
Thanks for the info! - DH
Heather,
I only used delicious for one class in cataloging (another Heather made us do it!) I have been using the bookmarks on my Google toolbar for portability. They can't be shared, though, so I'm looking forward to exploring delicious in this class. I confess that I don't like the different sized tags...I guess I'll have to get over that. :-)
