Links to Internet Resources

All the library links to internet resources have now been entered on Delicious and shortly we plan to switch our links to this site.

Here is a brief guide to the features on the site

Viewing options
Title – this just displays the title of the website
Title and Tags – this shows what tags have been assigned to each site

Users can sort the bookmarks
Most recent
Alphabetically

TIP - - Library staff recommend sorting and viewing them in alphabetical order since this provides the viewer with an alphabetical listing of the websites


Users can show up to 100
Use the little blue arrow at the foot of the page to select the number you want from 10 to 100

Tip - - Library staff recommend selecting 100 as this makes it easier to work through the alphabetical list of the websites


Searching for sites using the TAGS
Type the first letter of your subject into the search box and then select term from the dropdown list

Top 10 (the most frequently used on the site) are at the top


Dig down or hone in using the Tag bundles
Tag bundles are the broad subject areas/access points
These are used to organise the indexing into the equivalent of chapter headings in a book.
Within each tag bundle are associated tags (sub-headings) which you access in two ways:
by Clicking on the Tag Bundle heading
by clicking on the arrow head beside the tag bundle
Search within the these headings using the Related tags at the right of the screen to locate more specific topics


Unbundled tags
These are headings not assigned or associated with any particular bundle.
They provide access to individual subject areas regardless of which Tag bundle they may be associated with
