As I love a good book I am really enjoying Library Thing. I only wish that I had more time to add more of the books I've read. I am always curious to see what others are reading and what they think about it too so I will definately revisiting this site.
I think that tagging and folksonomies are a great idea for libraries as they are really useful for clients. Natural language browsing and searching would be much easier for the typical library user than using controlled vocabulary. The tag clouds that we discovered in this weeks activity shows how user friendly they can be. An application that springs to mind is making a tag cloud for our internet links such as Sutherland Shire libraries have done.
