Meningitis, and del.ic.ious

A recent Education Guardian piece on meningitis (http://education.guardian.co.uk/egweekly/story/0,,2273536,00.html) highlighted the need to know what it looks like, and the importance of not being afraid to act.

I have done a very librarian-y list of resources, which I suspect is not going to be easy to use, as it isn't apparent what exactly each site is good for (although I have tried to say). A colleague has recently set up a del.icio.us account for us to experiment with, and I thought this was a good excuse to do just that. I have added all the sites, tagged them with "meningitis" and various other things. Splendidly, the meningitis sites all appear together at http://del.icio.us/csllibrarians/meningitis, and the "related tags" list means you can then click to find the sites that are tagged "patientinformation", "healthprofessionals", "signs", and so on. Neat.
