Tag OPAC records

Filed under: library, tags, folksonomy

A while ago I posted on how Davey P experimented with tags in an OPAC.

Well this has now been implemented from Upenn’s OPAC into a local folksonomy, including feeds to keep up with the latest…here are the instructions (they have their own toolbar and bookmarklet). What else is cooking in the librarians kitchen.

Actually I first thought this was incorporated into the OPAC, but instead it is a local folksonomy for any type of webpage including the catalogue.

Here’s their catalogue, and you can’t browse by tag, unlike Davey P’s experiment…nonetheless it’s great to see a local (university) folksonomy being run by the library.

See the tag cloud.

See the tag violence.

See a user space.

The there is something called Projects, which seems to be lists, similar to H20 Playlist, here’s an example.

I can only imagine that OPML is next.
