My point was that using del.icio.us in this way is transparent to the website visitor, while at the same time being easier for the librarian to maintain. Win-win. But if you'd really like to spot the differences, look in the "Other Suggested Resources" section. The <a href="http://www.chelmsfordlibrary.org/reference/consumers.html" rel="nofollow">one page</a> has html bulleted lists, and <a href="http://www.chelmsfordlibrary.org/reference/consumer.html" rel="nofollow">the other</a> has the feeds from del.icio.us. @lynne: not at all - in fact, that’s exactly what I want to hear.

Instead of having a link directory like the kind you see on the IPL or LII, you can make recommendations through a library delicious account. Many libraries are already doing this. The thing is, you just need to keep up with it and make sure that people are adding useful websites and tagging them in a way that people will find them. This library seems to be doing a good job of it. And here’s a bit about using delicious as subject guides for libraries. Doing something like this here at Skokie PL would be worthwhile in my opinion.
