CPL 2.0 - What are the advantages and disadvantages of organizing web information with a system like our BEST WEBSITES on Delicious? Well let's see. I was glad to find Best Websites again on our new CPL homepage; it was something I was used to using and actually missed it while helping customers, until I located it in our E- library. The advantage for me is that rather that begin searching the web cold each time, there is a list of useful sites organized under broad headings or TAGS. By using these same resources over and over, one develops a familiarity and ease which helps with finding things quickly. The main disadvantage for me is that other, newer sites may not be found this way. A fresh independent web search does generate fresh info, but it can be very time consuming.
My pet peeve with BEST WEBSITES right now is not understanding why there is a tag bundle for a subject such as GEOLOGY, and no tag for MUSIC? ( There used to be one for music, and I used it all the time! ) AArrgghhh!

Good point! We should have a Music tag bundle! I also agree with the "cold" web search. It's like shooting in the dark, sometimes.
