Week 4's BCL 2.0 lesson was on tagging though del.icio.us and was somewhat of a refresher course from the crash course I took in April when I started working at BCL. Previously, I had not heard of del.icio.us until working at the Beaufort Branch reference desk, but immediately found that, if not overwhelming, it could be used as a great resource.
For example: we have selected websites and tagged them into subject categories. When someone asks me a business question, my mouse already has websites on the ready under the "business" tag.
If we noticed we were getting a lot of questions regarding the recent "Big Swim" mermaid map, we could tag the appropriate webpage and have it at the ready whenever someone asks. If done right, the tags help you recall the information you need by how you will remember to retrieve it.
Ahh...powerful!
