    3. Web 2.0: Democratized participation
    4. What is user-generated content? Tags Ratings Custom collections Online community contributions Wiki contributions Comments Blog posts Audio and video Photos
    5. Why User-Generated Content?
      • We don’t know everything
      • Insufficient metadata
      • Findability and refindability
      • Stories people tell about items are of value
      • Interaction with materials creates a more personal connection
      • People are already doing it!
        • 35% of online adults, 57% of teens (Pew, 2006)
    6. Tags
      • User-created descriptive metadata
      • Folksonomy - system of organizing through tagging.

    8. Where the tags are
    9. Where the tags are
    10. Where the tags are
    11. Why tags?
      • Lets people make sense of content using their own vocabulary (cinema? movies? film? motion picture?)
      • Helps people to re-find their own content
      • Helps people to discover new content
      • Good solution for situations where content can’t be formally cataloged.
    12. Why not?
      • No control
      • People can use plural or singular words, use dashes or underscores to connect words, etc.
      • Multiple terms to describe a single concept
      • No disambiguation
      • People tag selfishly (to_read, chapter1, EN101)
      • People tag incorrectly
      • “ Tagging bulldozes the cost of classification and piles it on the price of discovery.” (Ian Davis of Talis)
