Folksonomies: An Annotated Bibliography was created for LI804: Theory of Organization of Information. I chose folksonomies as the subject of my annotated bibliography because I am interested in the shift in power that the classification tool represents. The Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH) are often out of touch with common language and, thus, often frustrate those searching for information. Folksonomies, by contrast, are created by users, for users. I tried to find a variety of information on this innovation, including drawbacks such as the lack of cohesive form common in folksonomy tags. The assignment focused on community created systems and web2.0 technology, which made me aware of new innovations utilized in libraries. Knowledge of access terms is key to finding information; a user must know about the system of search terms that they are operating within in order to effectively locate information. When users create their own access terms they can create paths that are connected to the common language being used at the time, creating more effective pathways to information than LCSH in some cases. |
