Diigo is a platform for sharing and evaluating online resources.
Advantages of Diigo:
* Quickly save & share bookmarks
* Tag & annotate entries
* Automatic email updates
* Group members can evaluate entries by pressing a 'Like' button or attaching comments
* Ability to highlight and add sticky notes to webpages themselves
* Notes independent of bookmarks can be posted as 'Topics'

To Join: Go to the front page of the group (https://groups.diigo.com/group/lptsig). On the right-hand side of the page, click 'Apply to join this group.'

When viewing Bookmark entries: If you find a bookmark valuable, please press 'Like' so others will recognize its value. You can also add comments to the bookmark entry.

Tip: When looking for items of interest, you can narrow the list by selecting a Tag from the list in the right-hand column (you may have to scroll down to see it).

Tagging and Annotation: When adding bookmarks, please add at least one relevant Tag (use existing tags if possible) and annotate them with short descriptions of content.

Tip: Anything that is highlighted on a webpage when you make a bookmark will automatically show up in the Description field, and can be edited to quickly make an annotation.

Important enhancement: 'Diigolet' is a browser add-on that makes posting and highlighting much faster. It only takes moments to install.
1. At the top of the Diigo webpage, click 'Tools.' (If you are signed in, this item may be in a pull-down under your name.)
2. On the new page, go to the left-hand sidebar and click on Diigolet.
3. A page with simple directions for adding Diigolet to your browser will appear.

Alert Preferences: It is handy to receive email notification of new postings to the group, but annoying when they come too often. To set your Alert Preferences:
1. Go to https://groups.diigo.com/group/lptsig
2. In the right-hand sidebar, click on Group Settings.
3. On the Group Settings page, click on Email Alert in the left-hand sidebar. You will be able to choose how often you wish to receive Alerts.
