MLA CE Week 4 - Social Bookmarking

I have fun bookmarking items on del.icio.us. It is interesting to see what other people are bookmarking and what tags they used to describe them. The “network” and “link rolls” features of del.icio.us are useful for sharing favorites with others.

I see the potential of this tool for research assistance. CiteUlike and Connotea are two good examples. They help scientists and researchers find, organize, save, and share links to journal articles and research papers. They are great for online reference management. Best of all, the information is accessible from any computer with Internet connection.
