Tagging and Reviews

[Patrice Chalon]

Hello,

We made a test in 2008 (see below): users were invited to add a
comment / rating / tag after returning a book.

After the evaluation period,
- comments and ratings stopped
- provision of additional tags occurs very rarely

One of the explanation was that our institution is small (50 people)
and users were Web 1.0 (this has evolved since then) : they do prefer
to talk about a book.

Regarding tags, those readings were very inspiring
- 17 Furner
- 18 Blyberg
- 27 Hayman & Lothian

Hope it helps

Patrice
