It’s exciting to finally get to folksomonies, or tagging. This is something I’ve been hearing about off on about for years and have felt has been needed within the library. Yeah, we need to have authority and control over subject keywords; however, there’s something to be said for this layman’s tool. Let’s face it, not everyone has had a chance to curl-up with the big red LCSH books, nor do they intend to. This is a way of putting some power back in the people’s hands.

And how cool is del.icio.us ? I would love to see us create some sort of reading lists up there. At least the Center is up there. Did you notice? So many new and exciting tools!! Just wish we had more hands and time!
