I was quite surprised at how many libraries were currently using web 2.0 tools; so it was really interesting to look at the Directory and explore the way they were using them. There were a number of Delicious users so it was good to get a feel of what resources they were promoting to their readers. By looking it from a work perspective I can now see why Delicious would be a useful tool to use; as it is a quick way of gathering together useful resources for readers that can easily be searched via the tag facility.
The other beauty of it is that it would be so easy to set up for readers to use; the time would just be spent in gathering together all the websites etc that you felt you should bookmark; and making sure that they were up to date in the future and to keep adding so that it stayed interesting.
I found the networking facility straight forward and added the VHL and a fellow 23 thinger to my network, and it was good that it kept these under a separate section so that they didn't just appear under your own bookmarks. It was also quite interesting to see what other colleagues had bookmarked.
