As If But When

I just found out that I’m going to be presenting at this year’s BCLA Conference (British Columbia Library Association) conference, which is exciting because it’s my first time presenting at a conference. I’m going to give a background on the social bookmarking tool del.ico.us and then demonstrate the relative ease and versatility of managing a library website’s list of web links by feeding del.ico.us bookmarks to various places on the website. What I really like about this idea is that librarians can use del.ico.us as a bibliographic tool, maintaining a strict controlled vocabulary of tags to ensure that links are published to the appropriate pages. For a hint at what I’ll be presenting on, go to the ECI Library’s del.icio.us account. To see the links published on the library’s website, go to the Research Guides section and browse around.
