More and more libraries are using del.icio.us for internet linking.  Some are even displaying their Tag Clouds!  Even little tiny Seldovia Public Library in Alaska, which doesn’t even have an online catalog, has a blog with a link to their del.icio.us bookmarks!  Check it out at:  http://seldovialibrary.blogspot.com

Another great use for del.icio.us is in YA services.  Obviously, their world and vocabulary changes faster than most adults can keep up with, so del.icio.us is a perfect match for that evolving world.   See http://www.library.nashville.org/teens/teenweb.asp

Another example–in adult reference–is at  http://www.menashalibrary.org/research/websites

Many other libraries use del.icio.us, but are using different interfaces.  Check out the long list here:  http://angelacw.wordpress.com/2007/06/04/delicious-libraries/
