I could spend many hours here. First of all, I love that I don't have to worry about losing my boomarks when I switch computers. I know that was an issue when I changed computers during the move from the old building- all of those useful reference sites- gone! So, we saved them in folders on the Network. But what if you are not on the network? Delicious to the rescue.
Right now I am building a list of bookmarks for work at:
http://delicious.com/libraryselkie
I have two categories right now: 1. Cataloging and 2. Favorite and Useful Libraries
I will build one or more for reference as well. I plan to use Delicious for my personal bookmarks, too. This is such an awesome tool. Now, if anyone needs to use any of my bookmarks, they will be available at one URL. No more searching through emails to find the site that someone sent you months ago.

To expand on what I said in the previous paragraph regarding social bookmarking, I think librarians could use it obviously, for resource sharing. If I find something that I think would benefit other librarians, I could send it to them. Also, we can search tags for new and helpful bookmarks.
