Gray and I, with the help of Leslie, have created an assignment for the interdisciplinary inquiry course in which students use the social bookmarking and online information organization tool del.icio.us to thoughtfully save, categorize, describe, and share information resources.
Through internet research and emerging Library tools, students are creating a research repository online that will be at least 20 resources deep. The "bookmark & share" widget that has been added to UW's WorldCat catalog, for example, enables students to seamlessly post specific research resources and annotate them. After reviewing student work, and compiling their feedback, we will report back on the success of using this free web 2.0 technology to enhance student research.
