I watched the Otter Group Del.icio.us tutorial twice. Here is a "folksonomy" approach to creating shared reading lists ( a collection of URL's) and syllabus building. Of special interest was being able to select a unique tag for a group to post shared items. The "magic middle" helps manage mega-information by listing blogs that recieve many hits--showing what other people think are good articles. This enables a researcher to find the newest information quickly and to link from article to article, saving them to the RSS feed if desired. Del.icio.us is a "powerful tool".
