Why would you want to view that again?

Bookmark a lenghty article? What for? Why not send it straight to the printer and then stash the article away in a filing cabinet? Who needs it as a bookmark? If we want to show it to someone else, then we can send the URL via e-mail. We don't need to keep it tucked away among hundreds of other seldom, if ever, viewed articles, or links to articles.

The educational approach to using the web tells us that we bookmark articles and other materials we find because they're important to our work on a particular subject we're researching. Our bookmarks become our notes, our 3X5 cards. With an approach such as this, once we've finished writing the paper that we're required to write we can throw out the bookmarks we've accumulated - we'll never need them again. So although bookmarking is an integral part of using the internet for learning, continuing to save them isn't.
