A.
Leighann Forbes: Web-based Bookmarking
ikeepbookmarks.com is a free web-based
bookmarking site which allows for annotation and the ability to
create own personal digital library. Multiple internet sites
provide such a service. Ikeepbookmarks is Leighann?s choice
because it is free and relatively user friendly. Web-based
bookmarking can be a quicker more convenient source for use in
class. Some features of note are: ability to
import/export bookmarks, site checks for inactive links, able to
reorder links (or organize in folder), and ability to lock/hide
folders and links. For more information on how to use
ikeepbookmarks.com see Leighann?s SRU webpage.
