SOCIAL BOOKMARKING/SHARING

What is Social Bookmarking/Sharing?

Social bookmarking, also known as Sharing, is a method for people to save and categorize a personal collection of web bookmarks and share them with friends, colleagues and people with similar interests. Users may also take bookmarks saved by others and add them to their own collection, as well as to subscribe to the lists of others.


How do I bookmark/share a page?

At the bottom-left of every page on the BRC website, you'll find a small 'Share' button. If you come across a page on our website that you find interesting and want to save for future reference, share or email to a friend/colleague, click on the 'Share' button and then select the 'Email' link or one of the many bookmarking sites listed to bookmark/share the page.
