  • Springshare, a company owned by Slaven Zivkovic and billing itself as providing “practical, easy-to-use Web 2.0 tools for libraries and educational institutions,” has developed a new library-oriented social bookmarking application called LibMarks. Though not as developed as Springshare's other Library 2.0 offering, LibGuides, LibMarks is a Digg-like tool that lets users bookmark, rate, and tag web sites. Libraries interested in experimenting with a local social bookmarking tool but without the staff to design one afresh or install an open source option like Scuttle might look to LibMarks.
