Thing 11: Tagging

I love tagging because basically it is a way for me to be nerdy enough to catalog while I am not at work. I must admit that the lack of structure does bother the cataloger in me, but it is much more practical in many ways. For example, a cookbook has the subject heading "cookery". Have you ever searched by that term or asked someone where the books on cookery were? I would definitely search by cookbook first and this allows patrons to use common language.
