Week Four

I like the idea of tags. It seems (to me) an extension of what libraries are all ready doing. But instead of using subject headings only familiar to other librarians (maybe), we could incorporate common language tags to categorize resources. What a novel idea. Instead of using services like del.icio.us, could creative library technology gurus incorporate the concept into our catalogs? Maybe this has all ready been done, and I am once again in la la land (a place I highly recommend...). Anyway, this could revolutionize library catalogs making information searching less mysterious and more user friendly.

As for Technorati and blog tagging - I have no idea. I admit I see no direct relevance to libraries. What am I missing?
