Competency 5: Tagging/Cataloging

Competency 5, tagging for LS5013, has been fun. I think it's cool how a person can catalog all their personal books for free or a one time fee for life. What a great tool.

I was able to find tags about my subject area, which is literature. I found the tag literature tagged to Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. I also located the tag American literature for the book The Catcher in the Rye by J. D. Salinger, which was tagged under this cloud.

I found these tags using http://www.librarything.com/. The good thing about this site, I can create my own tag clouds using the words African American Literature. I could not find a tag that said African American Literature.

Related tags I copyied from the librarything site.
