I've been looking at Del.ic.ious and LibraryThing. I really like LibraryThing and will probably set up an account to check out new or unknown titles in areas of interest (I don't think it will be "tagging"). For me the jury is still out on Del.ic.ious . I checked out Sutherland Library tag cloud (I always thought a cloud was something in the sky but obviously because I'm such a late learner the meaning of cloud has changed. Note to self check Wikipedia for most up to date meaning of cloud). I would have thought that a lot of the entries and links in Sutherland's tag cloud would have been covered elsewhere perhaps on their web. All of this makes me curious to know with so many new web based tools available
- How do institutions decide what to go with and/or what the content will be
- What's involved inkeeping all of this information relevant and up to date
- Are they maintained by one individual or department within an institution
- How do we determine which tools to use and which may become obsolete
