Should you Tag a Library?
8:25 AM EDT 10/9/08
Tags were released on WorldCat.org recently. And just this last week we added the ability to 'favorite' your library, or affiliate with your library. I'm curious if there's a benefit to your patrons for them to be able to tag your library as well?

Why would your patrons tag you? And what would they say? Hmmm.

The Watkins Glen Public Library is a good community library that happens to have a race care in the middle of it. Along with common items you might find anywhere, they have a significant auto racing collection.

Would it be useful for patrons to tag WGPL as "NASCAR," "racing," race" or "cars"? We haven't provided to option to tag a library. I'm wondering if it would be valuable.

could be, but I'd rather see user-personalization features before the ability to add socialized content around orgs.
