I love tagging. Ever since I have been involved in reference work (over 30 years) I have cursed LC Subject Headings because it took LC so long to catch up with contemporary language. If LC could find a convoluted to approach a subject heading, it seemed to me, the catalogers there would find it. For a while I even started thinking like LCSH and I almost checked myself into rehab to solve the problem. With tagging, I can label a site anything I want. Even better, on Goodreads, I can give a book a subject heading that makes more sense than anything the catalogers at LC could use!
