Martha,
We outsourced this, kind of. We decided to buy a nifty new product
called LexMarkers. It's developers have neatly divided legal and
non-legal topics into folders of very handy topical classifications.
We're finding that it takes about half the time to train users with
this set of predefined and semi-annually updated set of
legally-oriented bookmarks!
See it at www.lexmarkers.com

Greetings:
I noticed in Maureen Kays' recent e-mail on Internet access, she
refers to
putting the library's bookmarks on the network so that everyone has
access
to them.
I've been struggling with an appropriate approach to sharing the
library's
bookmarks in our office and just wonder what is working for others.
In the
past, I have e-mailed my bookmarks file to users so that they install
it in
their own browser and modify it to meet their needs. Some people opt
to
create their own bookmarks and import mine into them.
I was just wondering what other approaches people are using. For
example, do
people find that it is better to create a page with links on it and
put it
on the firm's Intranet rather than sharing bookmarks? If people are
sharing
their library's bookmarks, how are they implementing that?
Thanks,
Martha Arthos
