Someone (Kate?) recently sent out a sheet entitled LDU -Support for
staff & students. Whilst this was very useful, could I just advise you
that 3 of the links on it don't seem to work any more:

http://www.lenholmes.org.uk/students/oe209/how2read_a.htm

OK John, sites like del.icio.us digg furl etc. are what is called social
bookmarking sites.  This means you can have your bookmarks online (and
see them from wherever you are ) and share them with others.  So you can
see my bookmarks (not the shopping ones of course) at
http://del.icio.us/francesbell . If you get social and either see what
tags others are using, or agree a tag, you can collaboratively tag and
share what you have found. So for example, if you look at this tag
knowandnetwork (related to a current research project), you'll see what
has been tagged as knowandnetwork see
http://del.icio.us/search/?fr=del_icio_us&p=knowandnetwork&type=all, and
also who else is tagging the same sites. So if you think about it, it's
similar to people sharing links through this list server EXCEPT you know
where they are afterwards, and the list can be updated in the future.
Here is an example of one I link for students from Blackboard,
http://del.icio.us/francesbell/OSSI-module.  I can add new resources
with this tag in del.icio.us and the link from BB is automatically
updated. If you are really keen, you can look up the theory of this -
it's called a folksonomy - here
http://s3.amazonaws.com/2006presentations/OZIA/Folksonomy_for_IA.pdf 

Well you did ask!! It's Web 2.0 and will be coming to a cinema near you
soon ;-) Hi Frances - this sounds like it might be a very good idea ...
but for the sake of us non-webheads, are you prepared to go a little
further in explaining what all this actually entails .. ummm, like 'tag'
and 'del.icio.us' and how to 'point', and then how others will find ...
if not, thanks for the tip anyway, but perhaps someone else might help
out those of us who are unfamiliar with these terms and ideas?!

John

Now please ignore me if I am out of sync with you but here is a
suggestion from a 'webhead'.  If you agreed on a tag like, say,
LDHEN-studyskills, you could all tag these resources on, say,
del.icio.us and then point to that tag to find 'the wisdom of the
crowd'.  I do this for my student resources in a topic area.
