MidContinental Region's Social Bookmarking Project
A number of months ago, the National Network of Libraries of Medicine, MidContinental Region assembled a Working Group to undertake a social bookmarking project. The goal of the project is to tag resources deemed relevant and useful to our Network members, and make them available to anyone who visits the MCR web site. The Working Group is made up of several NN/LM MCR members. Click on any tag below and you will be taken to the MCR's Delcious page with all the resources that have been tagged.
