Delicious but not very pretty

This app would be very useful for keeping a trace of useful links, because I find my bookmarks are full and untidy - and only on my laptop!  Having looked at some of the library delicious pages I can see how they are useful, but I think the layout is rather unattractive.  The sites were easy to navigate by clicking on the tags, but I'm not sure if I would have made the effort to trawl through this when I was a student - especially if I had been an Oxford student using lots of different libraries.

I also don't think many students would know that OULS/Bodleian Libraries has a Web2.0 directory page.  I show a lot of students the OULS site and they usually seem surprised about how much information is available there about admissions and library borrowing rights etc.

Things 9 and 10 have made me wonder about how to promote Web2.0 tools to readers - the SSL has an LCD screen above its issue desk that could be useful for advertising this kind of thing.
