Tagging

It makes sense in Web 2.0 applications to have some sort of organizing tool, especially if one has 100's or 1000's of photos, bookmarks, etc. I am not sure how tagging would work in a library setting, but it could be helpful to add access points to records via tagging. After all, controlled vocabulary only works if the catalog user happens to know the correct term. I see this often as a school librarian. Kids will type in "scary stories" rather than "horror" and wonder why the only thing that comes up is "Scary Stories to Read in the Dark".
