Thing 13: Tagging

I believe tagging can be helpful, especially to librarians. They can help coordinate and correlate like subjects so if you are interested in finding something in that tag, you can find something like it. I realize it can be quite chaotic especially if you start mixing tags or if there are too many like tags (for example: vampire or vampyr, just because I see a copy of Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer here.) Tagging should help aid us in our searches and if someone doesn’t like tags, they certainly don’t have to use them. I’m not sure what could go in their place. Usually they are small and out of the way and used on many sites now.
