| Abstract: | In this poster, we describe an exploratory study comparing the abstracting and indexing
practices of a semi-expert LIS community (metadata creators for the digital library, ipl2)
and the social tags generated by Delicious users for the same corpus of materials. We
find over 88% of the resources in the ipl2 History collection were tagged at least once in
Delicious. Overlap between the tags applied to ipl2 resources and indexing shows terms
that the two groups use are similar enough to be useful, yet dissimilar enough to provide
new access points and descriptors. |
