Folksonomies: It's Time to Reach for an Information Cloud, Not a Card Catalog when Conducting Scholarly Research
- A new phenomenon is happening on the web; the social bookmarking phenomenon.

Moreover, social bookmarking not only increases available resources and the reliability of those resources, but due to its nature, social bookmarking could also establish new communities within the web, communities of people who share similar interests, who could even become cohorts in future research projects
