Our library has already made forays into the world of del.icio.us. A few months ago we created an account and pulled together some bookmarks. Some are for staff use re: Library 2.0, etc., and others are on subject areas of interest to students. We have the most recent bookmarks displayed on the Library's home page.

I'm thinking it would be good to tag and pull together "bundles" on subjects where we get questions, like test prep and citation style. It would be more dynamic and flexible than our current links, and easier to add great new sites. (As it is now, we have to contact the college's webmaster to make changes.)
I can also see working with instructors to put up del.icio.us links that pertain to their particular courses. This could be particularly effective in the D2L (online) courses.
Oh -- in checking out the other libraries' accounts that you posted, I see they've been good about bundling the tags -- something I haven't done much of yet -- and one library even listed them by Dewey number! (good idea)
Oh, one other good use of del.icio.us: I'm going to be doing on a project in which some of the work can be done from home. It'll help a lot being able to access my bookmarks from either work or home.
