We have 2 accounts. One, our main account, provides the links for our
"reference database" page
(http://www.mrrl.org/services/refer/links/index.php) and the other
holds all the links for our Library Learning 2.0 program
(http://del.icio.us/mrrl2). I really like the first use - it means I
don't have to manually add links to the reference links pages any
more!
