Del.icio.us & LibraryThing

I have also had a Del.icio.us account for a little over a year and have been trying to use it to tag interesting websites. I really like the idea of tagging, although the Librarian in me gets a little irritated by the tags that people sometimes use. I really like the ability to have all your bookmarks in one location, although I use the Google bookmarks feature more than I use Del.icio.us. I could maybe see having a Del.icio.us account for the library reference staff to bookmark helpful websites, or one for reader's advisory.

I also created a LibraryThing account and really got carried away. This is so cool! I wonder if there would be some way for a library to use this to create their own catalog? The circulation aspect would probably be the most challenging thing to overcome.
