I think Delicious would be a really useful tool for everyone. If for what ever reason I had to work at another computer that didn't have my favourites on it as a alternative to importing them I could log in into my delicious account and access them that way. I imagine Liaison Librarians may have lists of sites that they refer to regularly that are specific to their subject areas. If they have to go to another site to meet with a client delicious would be a good way of easily accessing these sites. If students or staff are doing research and they find a useful site they can easily and quickly bookmark the site in delicious. Being able to add notes to remind yourself of why you bookmarked the site is a useful feature. All my favourite websites in one place and the reason I bookmarked them sounds very useful. Delicious I think could be very useful both professionally and personally.

I chose the Libraries Australia site as I use it extensively in my Document Delivery work. It is a good tool (not excellent though as sometimes unfortunately holdings are not accurate) for bibliographic verification and to check library holdings. It is also a useful tool that I have referred students to at service points.
