Social Bookmarking / Citation Tools

Social Bookmarking isn’t new, but there are so many products on the market I do get asked what advantages do they offer over professional referencing software such as Endnote.

So here is what I have gathered from personal use and other people’s opinions.  I think it would be great if you have anything to add or share with us please add your comments.

Social Citation allows you to:

•Drop in resources from sites you have been browsing on the web and from other users libraries and add to your own

•Network with other students / researchers

•Build collaborative collections of resources
•Use tags to browse other researchers libraries

•Use in conjunction with other web 2.0 tools such as RSS to add resources to a blog or website
