Examples of how libraries can use Diigo

  • Here are some examples of electronic resources I've bookmarked for my library.  If you expand all, you can follow the "more information" links to the bibliographic records in our catalog.  (If you don't understand my library jargon, that's okay; just follow the links and it should be clear what I'm talking about.) 

    And this is just the tip of the iceberg; annotations could include sound and video clips, links to other suggested resources ("see also..."), hyperlinked search strings for the library catalog, WorldCat.org, Diigo, Google, or other sources, plus about a zillion things that I can't even think of.

  • Social bookmarking tools serve two general purposes: helping you keep track of what you've seen and showing you what you may have missed.

PennTags / help /

  • PennTags is a social bookmarking tool for locating, organizing, and sharing your favorite online
    resources. Members of the Penn Community can collect and maintain URLs, links to journal articles,
    and records in Franklin, our online catalog and VCat, our online video catalog. Once these
    resources are compiled, you can organize them by assigning tags (free-text keywords) and/or by
    grouping them into projects, according to your specific preferences. PennTags can also be used
    collaboratively, because it acts as a repository of the varied interests and academic pursuits
    of the Penn community, and can help you find topics and users related to your own favorite
    online resources.


    PennTags was developed by librarians at the University of Pennsylvania.

InfoTangle :: The Hive Mind: Folksonomies and User-Based Tagging :: December :: 2005

  • There is a revolution happening on the Internet that is alive and building momentum with each passing tag. With the advent of social software and Web 2.0, we usher in a new era of Internet order. One in which the user has the power to effect their own online experience, and contribute to others’. Today, users are adding metadata and using tags to organize their own digital collections, categorize the content of others and build bottom-up classification systems. The wisdom of crowds, the hive mind, and the collective intelligence are doing what heretofore only expert catalogers, information architects and website authors have done. They are categorizing and organizing the Internet and determining the user experience, and it’s working. No longer do the experts have the monopoly on this domain; in this new age users have been empowered to determine their own cataloging needs. Metadata is now in the realm of the Everyman.

Social Bookmarking And Tagging At Academic Libraries

  • I used some of my break time to further delve into what’s happening with social bookmarking and tagging activity. These are interesting technologies, and I’m wondering if much exploration is taking place at academic libraries. There are a few academic librarians out there who have caught on to the use of social bookmarking software and tagging - and a few are actively promoting it on their blogs. For example, Ellyssa Kroski, a reference librarian at Columbia University, discusses tagging and folksonomies at her blog Infotangle. But at the library, not individual, level we are only beginning to explore how to exploit this technology to promote user access to resources and services.

Sharing, Privacy and Trust in Our Networked World [OCLC - Membership reports]

  • The practice of using a social network to establish and enhance
    relationships based on some common ground—shared interests, related
    skills, or a common geographic location—is as old as human societies,
    but social networking has flourished due to the ease of connecting on
    the Web. This OCLC membership report explores this web of social
    participation and cooperation on the Internet and how it may impact the
    library’s role, including:


    • The use of social networking, social media, commercial and library services on the Web
    • How and what users and librarians share on the Web and their attitudes toward related privacy issues
    • Opinions on privacy online
    • Libraries’ current and future roles in social networking

    The report is based on a survey (by Harris Interactive on behalf of
    OCLC) of the general public from six countries—Canada, France, Germany,
    Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States—and of library
    directors from the U.S. The research provides insights into the values
    and social-networking habits of library users.



    Social networking was also discussed at the OCLC Symposium “Who’s Watching YOUR Space?” at ALA Midwinter 2007, while property law and privacy rights were discussed at the OCLC Symposium: “Is the Library Open?” at ALA Annual 2007.
