Week 12 Reading Notes
Social Bookmarking: One thing that really interested me was the possibilities for social bookmarking in libraries or archives. The article discusses the university of Pennsylvania's use of tagging to incorporate websites into the catalog. I wonder about the use of social bookmarking for the items within the collection. Obviously there would be some of the pitfalls associated with untrained cataloging of collection, but I wonder whether it might produce interesting alternative results to LoC subject headings.
Wikipedia: Wale's discussion of the vandalism systems was especially interesting to me. This week I was reading the Pieter Bruegel the Elder page on Wikipedia. It was clearly vandalized, as one of Bruegel's paintings was listed as being held at the "What the Frick? Collection in New Pork City (ha ha ha.). Sure enough, the page was fixed within days.
