Tagging academic journals
Wednesday, October 3rd, 2007The bright folks up in the SFU library, have been busy working away behind the scenes on an interesting new web application for searching academic journals. They call it “e-Journals“. The thing that caught my attention (Thanks Sandra W.) was their implementation of tagging as a means to organize the content. Oh sure, they use a traditional classification scheme as well, but have added the ability to use tags for those ‘hard to classify journals’ . I still dont know much about this yet but I am very eager to learn more!
I led a brown bag discussion on the topic of tagging today with some of my illustrious colleagues from the university, which is how I even came to discover this site. Hopefully we will see more sites around here that will be able to leverage this powerful Web 2.0 feature. If you know of any, let me know or leave a note on the wiki.
