Tagging and Reviews

[Varnum, Ken]

You might want to take a look at the RLG "Sharing and Aggregating Social
Metadata" research project (in which I was a participant), and the first
report to come out of it (2 more are on the way).
http://www.oclc.org/research/activities/aggregating/

The first report reviews uses of social metadata by libraries, archives,
and museums and includes some sites that offer tagging/commenting in the
catalog.
