Sometimes, being a librarian equates to being a packrat. At least in the virtual world, I can collect as many links as I want and it doesn’t take up any room. However, to be useful, it does take organization.
For awhile now I’ve been bookmarking posts about free resources for clipart, photographs and other artwork. I use them for library publications, and also for my posts here. But just this week I got my act together and started transferring those links from my Bloglines account to my Delicious account, and thought I’d share them.
If you’re curious how to do this with Delicious, check out my how-two post for creating library subject guides.
And just for good measure, here are a few web design tools I had bookmarked, too:

Created for LibCamp Boston, here is one method for using del.icio.us to create dynamic subject guides of web resources for a library’s website.
Why do this?
Social bookmarking websites (like del.icio.us) allow for easy, no-tech-skills-needed creating & editing of web content. This content can be shared with others in a variety of ways (web searching, rss feeds, or on your library website).
Examples
The process I used to create this
- Create del.ico.us account
- Add your bookmarked web resources to your account
- Use your own structured language in the tags field to create whatever categories you want
- Using a “post to del.icio.us” toolbar button is helpful
- Create javascript code to embed on html page
- Add to your html page and upload to your web server
