Tagging and Delicious


The video and the delicious tutorial were very helpful in explaining what at first appeared to be a very complex concept (at least to the technologically-challenged like me). I set up an account and found several useful links to tag that concern Louis Althusser (the gentlemen you see here and near the bottom of the page). The obvious advantage of delicious has been stated several places: the tags can be accessed from any computer, not just the one being used at the present moment. I could see this being a very useful tool for students who are working collectively on a school project, as they would be able communicate their findings about building up a list of resources that all could use. It would be of use to librarians (such as seen on the San Mateo Public Library site) to compile lists of titles on a topic of interest for the public by using tags.
