Week 6 Thing 13

I seem to be reaching a saturation point. I have been online, reading about tagging and social bookmarking; looking into Del.icio.us and Technorati; exploring the SJLibraryLearning2 account and reading more about Del.icio.us and other social bookmarking tools . . . and more . . . and more. With every click on a link, I have access to a thousand other links. This is not like being assigned to read three chapters from the college textbook and then analyze and evaluate . . . I can't seem to stop the reading and get to the writing. It has taken me all week to come back to my Blog to write this, and I'm not really even addressing the simple question put to me, "how can I take advantage of these tags and bookmarks in my library?"

I realize one of the most important thing about these tags is that they are peer-driven, and students might be able to find information more quickly if they can search a subject using terms they are familiar with, rather than the traditional LOC subject headings.
