Hi! I work with two libraries (one public library quite new to Koha and one small school library) that use tags. They are somewhat useful, but it’s clear that to tap into the potential of creating a folksonomy you need to take Metcalfe’s law into account and populate the tags with data from far larger services than the local library. The problem is particularly difficult in such a small language area as Sweden. It’s hard enough to get even a national service to get user tagging really going. With that said I’ve been hoping to integrate our Koha installations with the national service for user created metadata when they get their new APIs up and running in the future.

Hi,
Following up on a discussion I had with some folks on Twitter, I'm curious about the use of the user tagging feature in Koha. Specifically, if you're a library that has enabled the user tagging feature, particularly if you've done so for a long time, do you also use the tag moderation feature?
Are the tags adding to the usability of your catalog? Why or why not?
Regards,
