Web 2.0 Tool--Clipmarks

I first came across Clipmarks when I was meandering through Firefox addons. As a librarian, I use this almost weekly--if someone just needs a part of a page, I just clip and print, saving a lot of wasted paper! The down side is that it must be installed on every computer you use, but it only takes a second to do it!

On August 29, 2005 Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans and surrounding areas.
There were more than a thousand fatalities, billions of dollars in property losses,
and tens of thousands of people were stranded and/or lost their homes. Despite
a long history of flooding and dire predictions, all levels of government failed
to act in a timely and organized manner, which further exacerbated the problems.
In the past year, recovery efforts were slow and there was much discussion of
topics such as race, class, government response, and how the nation as a whole
should think about New Orleans and the Gulf Coast’s future.
