del.icio.us and Library 2.0

del.icio.us

I hadn't actively used del.icio.us before, but i'd seen people using it and i know parts of the functionality of the SLT's webpage uses it. It's pretty hand i must say, and easy to use. Because of the admin lock down on the work pcs i couldn't download the buttons, but the links work nicely. Of course the best thing is that you can move from pc to pc, or OS to OS if you have an install like my home computer, etc and still have the same favourites availale.

Library 2.0

I have mixed feelings about Library 2.0. Whilst i think it is good that libraries are doing their best to stay up to date, I think sometimes the emphasis is placed too much on the concept of web 2.0 technologies and not the use of the technologies themselves. Libraries should be using all technologies available to provide the best service, and not worrying if it's 'web 2.0' or not.
