Inspired by Worthington Libraries: Blind Date with a Book!
We started with ~40 books. Two hours later, all but four had found homes with library patrons (sorry, Flush, Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler, Persepolis, and The ThingsThey Carried, they don’t know what they’re missing).
Now, to send forth a new fleet of exciting books into student arms. Whew!

"In this way, tagging can be characterized as a form of manual, ascriptive, natural-language, democratic indexing, which is typically undertaken by resource-creators and resource-users who have low levels of indexing expertise, high levels of domain knowledge, and widely varying motivations, and which is commonly used to represent non- or quasi-subject related properties, and frequently (but far from exclusively) applied to resources such as images that do not contain verbal text."
