Delicious is the tasty work around for providing Calgary Public Library staff's Best Websites to the customers. Library workers certainly love to hoard information and sort it into tidy little bundles!
When suffering a vacant moment on the reference desk, Delicious can help you to remember a useful site. It could also prove invaluable for training new reference staff in some of the hard-to-remember resources for complex subjects.
Unfortunately, Delicious is buried several clicks away on the CPL home page, making it an unlikely find for most of our customers. As well, you can usually find the same information faster by Googling. These days, I try to keep my headspace in downsizer mode. Layers and hoarding are out. Simple and direct are in.
All in all, Delicious is not to my taste.
