Tag You're It: A Diaglog Between Social Tagging and
Traditional Classification 

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.
