I think Del.icio.us will be a great help to us, since sometimes we are at our own desks and sometimes at the Reference desk. The Favorites at the reference desk computers have so many entries that it is almost impossible to find anything. It's almost easier to go to one of the search engines to find the site you want. This will make it easier.
I'm not sure how it would be as a research tool. I think it would probably be good for someone doing a book or dissertation, but I'm not sure it would be needed for just a research paper. Although it would be a good place to keep references until the paper is turned in, just in case the paper is lost or computer crashes or "the dog eats it."
