What is social bookmarking?
Have you ever sat down at a new computer and
wished you had access to the bookmarks you already
gathered? Social bookmarking is an online method of
organizing websites that you want to find again, but
it is open to the public so that other people can see
your bookmarks and you can see theirs. Of course,
you don’t have to share them, but that’s what puts the
“social”into the bookmarking!
Whousessocial
bookmarking?
Anyone who finds themselves with an unwieldy
“favourites” menu would welcome social book-
marking. It can make your bookmarks much clean-
er, better organized and easy to use!
How does social
bookmarking work?
Social bookmarking is a way of sorting and organiz-
ingwebsitesbyusing“tags.” Tagsareusuallyshortde-
scriptions of the resource that the user applies. Unlike
the controlled vocabularies used in the library cata-
logue,thesetagsareusergeneratedsotheyuseinfor-
mal terms. Each tag is connected to the person who
created it, so you can access all of their bookmarks,
which then connects you to the other user.
Twitter (like Facebook).
Why is social bookmarking
useful?
One of the greatest features of social bookmark-
ing is that you can access your bookmarks from
any computer terminal or mobile device; they are
no longer tied to your own computer. Another as-
pect is their sociability – you can use other people’s
bookmarks by searching tags for the subject you
are interested in. It is useful if you plan on collect-
ing a set of resources on one subject that you want
to share with others.
Doessocialbookmarkinghave
drawbacks?
One of the biggest disadvantages of social book-
marking is that there is no controlled vocabulary.
The same resource could end up with tags that
appear similar but are actually different due to
things such as misspellings or different spellings,
singular vs. plural, or differences in punctuation.
Social bookmarking can also become an avenue
for spreading misinformation or spam.

Libraries can make lists of materials through the
use of tags –someone interested in “mysteries” or
“dvds” can search through tags to more easily lo-
cate something of interest to them.
