I like what you like

"I like what you like in your bookmarks and since you are an expert I accept what you have bookmarked as reliable and useful information." This is the only the only rational I can find for social bookmarking. I can see this tool saving me, a solo librarian, time by letting staff know that I have pulled together in one place Internet resources for them. It is like an extension of a virtual file in the library where all types of sundry information is kept on the off chance you will need it. It is also an extension of the reference section, where I have provided quality control on the resources that are most applicable to our situation and research needs. Once our intra-net is established I know I will be making sure there is room for all types of virtual library tools for the staff to use. In some ways it will give me peace of mind knowing that at least they have access to quality sites, now I have no idea where they are looking for their information.
