An example of how Diigo is useful for presenting a collection of resources. I used this Book Club in a Bag marketing project for Competency D.

"Build a personal research library. As a graduate student, one of the things you are most likely to be doing at any given time is reading (although you'll note that @j_l_r below recommends not doing all of what's assigned!). You will read articles, book chapters, and entire books much faster than you would have ever thought possible. And unless these articles fall into your area of interest, you might be inclined to forget about them as soon as the seminar meeting is passed. But we'd like to suggest that you begin as early as possible in your studies to build a personal research library. A personal research library is a record of what you've read and what you thought about it. It can be as simple as a citation, a few keywords, and a brief abstract. We'd recommend using Zotero (see Amy's posts on Getting Started with Zotero, parts One and Two) or EndNote, but even a box of 3x5 cards is better than trying to remember that really great essay from your first semester in grad school five years down the road when you're writing your dissertation. A little extra work now will pay big dividends in the future, especially if you change your research project."

I see this as especially important for that e-portfolio I did for library school. I did a lot of extra research because I didn't remember/know where to find many of the articles I had read that would be useful support for my ideas on the competencies.

Worldwide laptop project, especially aimed at developing countries, but applicable in developing areas everywhere

This page includes many sites I visited for several different competencies.
