Does tagging belong in the library?
Yes it can enhance our catalog by making it more functional for our patrons.
Does it replace or complement subject headings? I think it complements them. Tags add more choices for patrons. Tagging may be more patron friendly in that the tags may have more common or more simple descriptive search terms.
Should we encourage or discourage the practice?
I think encourage it. Patrons may have a better search outcome because of the additional words or phrases that appear.
Clouds can seem to be messy; you just have to get used to them.
