Del.icio.us seems like a great tool for reference staff to use. Since the reference desk may have more than one computer, staff can still access their favorite reference websites by using del.icio.us. Del.icio.us is also a great tool to tell students about too (if they don't know already!). Most students prefer to research online and del.icio.us can help them track the websites they've used - which will make writing those bibliographies a lot easier.
One thing I don't want people to forget that just because a website has been tagged by a number of users doesn't automatically make that website the best source out there. A lot of people are using these social bookmarking sites to increase the activity/traffic on their own websites by adding tags, etc. That way their website has a better chance of being found on a Google search.
