SWAN Tags

A mockup of what tags could look like in a library catalog. I think tags could add browsing back into our catalogs, as well as letting users help create reading lists and subject guides. I view user-generated tags as complementary to structured classification and retrieval.

To take full advantage of Flickr, you should use a JavaScript-enabled browser and
install the latest version of the Macromedia Flash Player.
