Delicious

You know us we do have a thing about cakes. We serve them at Journal Club and at our InfoBites session but in this case the deliciousness doesn't relate to Sarah's baking.


You may have seen on websites this symbol of squares this is the sign that you can add an item to Delicious. 

So what is Delicious? 

Delicious is one of many ways of bookmarking or collecting together items on the internet that are of interest to you - it is a free service. You can add tags or subjects to items you have saved; you can then gather them together and organise them. You can also decide if these are to be private or shared. There are options for linking your Delicious account with Twitter and Faceback if you wish. You can also search Delicious for items of interest in your speciality and can add items to your own account if you wish to set one up. 
If you want to use an account like this for yourselves look around at different alternatives (Stumble Upon, Reddit, Digg, Evernote and many others) and see which suit you we can give you help with some of these if you ask us.

So what do we use our Delicious account for? 

We try to keep track of recent publications by Sheffield Children's Hospital staff and this is where we gather them together. So if you want to see what your colleagues are publishing you should be able to find them on our Delicious site. Alternatively if you want the information pushed to you you can follow our page with Twitter or Facebook and we have also set up an e-prompt email alert which you can sign up for here email sign-up , this will send you an email each time we add extra articles to the site.

Do have a look and if we have missed something you have published recently send us the details
