Before I did this course I had heard the term 'folksonomies' and didn't really know what it meant. In context of more structured 'taxonomies' I 'get it'. I think we need to meet our clients somewhere in the middle on this one -
- I like the examples of catalogues that include tags, we should look at this in our catalogue
- I think we should be able to 'connect' tags and subject headings in some way [somehow in an automated way in our catalog]
- I think we could use tag clouds to help secondary students explore some of our resources ... helping them find the right keywords to track down what they need
- I think we could use tag clouds and resources like Del.icio.us at the information desks, particularly for very topical enquiries and to capture links to be considered for the official lists on our website
- I set up a del.icio.us account and was disappointed that I couldn't download the widget for my toolbar - it should be part of our SOE...
- I set up a LibraryThing account but since I don't have time to read all of my books at home I doubt very much I will have time to catalog them into LibraryThing... :-(
- I think LibraryThing for Libraries is a trend we should keep an eye on
