The tag cloud in Del.icio.us is really good because it keeps all the same tags together in a group with the tag names and then tags under those and tags under them like in a cloud as you see in Sutherland Shire Libraries tag cloud with the relevant tags in larger letters and bolder text and smaller and fainter text as you go down the list.
Cleveland Public Library's tags are good because they are broken down by subject, then related subjects and then their bookmarks which the general public can save for themselves. This is better set out and user-friendly and easy to use.
Del.icio.us would be good for libraries because they could tag websites which were relevant to subjects used by clients a lot which could be a one-stop shop for them to visit and add to their bookmarks and can be shared by all.
Clients could check here first as a starting point for their research on a topic using the tags to find a library's bookmarks and take it from there
Like the introductory video said, its a lot simplier to use Del.icio.us than the old way of bookmarking and takes a lot less time as I found once I got the hang of it!
The fact you can bundle the tags into is good as well not like the labels we use in www.blogger.com so you can have relevant tags under one heading and even look like a cloud!

It sounds like you have a great time looking at del.icio.us - it has some great possiblities, even for organisating sites you want to look at later.
