Social bookmarking tools could be very useful for MLA sections, MLA chapters, and MLA in general, because they help us keep abreast of the latest library / informatics news and technologies, changes in the profession, and they facilitate overall networking. It was very easy to register for del.icio.us, and it will be wonderful to finally have the ability to better organize my favourite sites, to tag them and to share them with others.
MLA sections and chapters could benefit from the use of social bookmarking tools by creating section and/or chapter accounts, so that the group members could share the resources fully. A group account could also be set up within individual libraries, on topics, such as medical reference, web 2.0, or evidence-based clinical practice.
Another possibility would be to create links to subject guides on our websites. For example, sites that focus on occupational therapy, or physiotherapy, resources could be tagged and made available to health professionals within those disciplines. The possibilities are endless!
