Needs

• Dynamic content flexible organization
• Extensibility master list, subsets (e.g.
  courses)
• WCM challenges

3
Proposed Solution

• Why?
• Ease of use
• Extensibility
• Location-free
• Externalities
• Social aspects

4
Taxonomies

• What can be done with tags? NEF account?
  Category? Course?
• Time-consuming, thought-intensive process
• Allow for flexibility
• One master list ? many guides (super ? subset)
• One guide ? tag intersections (tag tag
  tagtag)
• Items can appear in multiple guides
• Change course on existing taxonomies (batch
  change)

5
link rolls ? wcm

• Groups of linkrolls (placeholders for content)
• Navigation Menu

6
Magic Code (in WCM page)

• ltscript type"text/javascript"
  src"http/del.icio.us/feeds/js/nef4/film?Extend
  edcount100sortalphanameshowaddgtlt/scriptgt

7
Extensibility

• Del.icio.us (master list)
• use in study guide (long list)
• use in guide for a class (shorter list)
• use by instructors/students (additional
  linkrolls)
• ???

8
Issues

• All items in the study guides/research guides are
  under NEF's account
• Open to students open to world (good or bad
  thing?)
• Many tag intersections ? many linkrolls
• Taxonomy changes

9
Future Directions

• Integrate with NEFs blog (information literacy,
  news, announcement, new acquisitions, etc)
• Provide a reverse chronological listing of new
  and interesting links added to del.icio.us
• Re-use link rolls as featured items in blog and
  other sites (e.g. CW)
• Bring images into guides (via Flickr)
