Research Project: Diigo

Why Diigo for my Research Project?

  • It’s a convenient way to keep all of your bookmarks organised and synchronised across all computers and devices
  • The annotation and highlight features are useful for researching
  • Your bookmarks library is fully searchable so Diigo is a great way to manage large libraries of links
  • The useful sharing options and ability to create groups make Diigo the perfect way to collaborate and share resources with colleagues or students. There is even a discussion feature where group members can discuss the link. Think about the possibilities of doing collaborative research projects with students- you could give instant feedback about the sites they are bookmarking.

Getting started

Sign up with Diigo

Once you have created an account you will presented with a blank library page. Getting started with Diigo is not the most intuitive process, as there is no simple way to add your first bookmark. The simplest way to begin is to install a Diigo toolbar in your browser so you can save bookmarks easily.

After you first login to Diigo you should be presented with an option to install the Diigo toolbar. If you don’t see it, select Tools. The video on this page will assist you to install these toolbars.
