Del.icio.us could be used by students on a day by day basis. One of many ways students could use del.icio.us could be when they need to use their friend's or the library's computers for a project they had to do research on. Also while using these bookmarks, if they find any new bookmarks, they can save and access them from basically anywhere. Another way someone could use del.icio.us is if they don't already own a computer, they can use this program anywhere too as long as the computer that they use has the delicious button installed on the internet browser's task bar. Tagging is basically writing notes for your bookmarks so that you can remember what you used it for. The bad thing about tagging is that it might take up a chunk of your time, and also on some if not all internet browsers, you can tag the titles of the bookmarks too. The way that the tags that you make compare to the library of congress subject headings is that instead of finding things that are not on the topic you specifically want "library of congress' search engine" you can find things that you choose and they even have info that you wrote about the link "Tags".

Great. The beauty of delicious is that it makes your bookmarks both searchable and portable.
Another key difference between Library of Congress subject headings and keywords is that LC headings are created, applied and controlled by expert indexers. Tags are user-generated and vary, so they aren't quite as precise.
