Hmmm... this is very strange as I definitely signed up to the Bodleian Philosophy Library's network. Now I've logged in again and Delicious is telling me that I have no people in my network! Bizarre! Maybe I didn't follow the instructions correctly... I don't know. I'll try again - with another library!
I was quite disappointed to discover that my favourite libraries aren't signed up to Delicious. As an ex-social scientist (well, anthropologist, if we want to split hairs), the obvious choice would have been to head to the Social Sciences Library. I recently saw a picture of the inside of the Oxford Union's Library - marvellous! - and now have a strong desire to visit, but they're not signed up either. Out of the remaining libraries on the directory list, I've opted for Nuffield College Library, who specialise in the social sciences...
... and what a surprise! They have loads of bookmarks on issues and organisations I'm familiar with and (e.g. Fabian Society) and for those I'm not, the tags offer me a quick and easy way to filter through and select those bookmarks that have the most relevance to my interests. Brilliant!

I've had trouble with networks too; I find someone interesting, click to add them, click to confirm it, and nothing happens. If I do it the other way round by going to my network, clicking to add a user, then adding them by username, it works.
