del.icio.us

I don't use our IS delicious listings often, probably because the same question seldom comes up more than once in Reference work, unless it is something like "when are the tax helpers coming?" Looking through it again, and exploring some of the linked postings from others, I find that it is a great source for booklists. However, spotting the "hierarchy" from the list is not always apparent, "book" coming some way down the list. I rather hate the "cuteness" of breaking up the word with periods, dots or whatever new term applies. Yes, it is fun to wander off and explore what others are doing or consider important, but sometimes I just want to get to the point quickly. Having it available as a website is great, and not tied to just this machine. "In the old days" Amy had to update everything individually.
