Tag You're It: A Dialog Between SocIal Tagging and Traditional Classification

LINKS TO PRESENTATIONS AND VIDEOS NOW AVAILABLE

Friday, February 22, 2008

Does social tagging represent collaboration and knowledge sharing at its best or does it mean the end of access to information? What, if any, is the role for social tagging systems in our library catalogs? How are libraries and other institutions using social tagging systems today? What does social tagging mean to users? A wide range of speakers will discuss these and other issues surrounding social tagging, its implications for traditional classification and what it all means for the future of libraries, museums, and access to information.
