[LM_NET] Tagging

[Frederick Muller <mullinator52@GMAIL.COM>]

I agree with Richard.  The Dewey Decimal and tagging are two different
animals.   Dewey deals with shelf order.  What tagging effects is
standardized subject headings and thesauri such as LOC and Sears.  Keyword
searching jeopardized these things for a while.  Tagging in my mind is just
an extension of Keyword searching or note and content fields.  Yes Richard,
the most important thing is for your patrons to find the materials.  Once
they identify materials (using, tagging, keywords or whatever) they still
have to find the books on a shelf in some kind of order.  I still like that
order.
