Corrado Head of Library Technology Binghamton University Abstract By using Web 2.0 social bookmarking sites, libraries can more easily manage subject guides and other lists of Web resources. Social bookmarking services such as Delicious provide a one-click method to bookmark a Web site, allowing librarians to describe and categorize Web sites.
Using a small amount of JavaScript, these bookmarked resources can be dynamically included in subject guides and other Web-based library resources. This paper describes and analyses the use of social bookmarking at a medium-sized, comprehensive college library for the creation and maintenance of modern languages subject guides. A brief technical description outlining necessary JavaScript code provides a way for librarians to try this idea elsewhere.

About Zigtag For those of you who don't know, Zigtag is another entry in the social bookmarking collection of tools. Like delicious, Diigo, and Ma.gnolia, Zigtag helps you categorize your bookmarks and share them with others. When Zigtag went into development, bookmarking was all the rage. Zigtag, you see, understands the meaning of the words you assign to a tag. Not the Only Semantic Tagging Service Because of Zigtag's slow progress, they can no longer claim to be the only semantic tagging application available today.
Zigtag and Faviki attack this problem in different ways. Zigtag, however, eschews suggestions and lets you tag items as you wish. Is This Really Web 3.0?
