Making use of Tags reminds of the first time I discovered hyperlinks. Being able to find my way around by transferring from one web document to the next seemed revolutionary at the time (indeed it was). I then discovered that I could make these links myself and also that they could be used within other applications such as Word or Excel. From an information finding perspective they were great to use within teaching.
Tagging is very much in the same category. It definitely gives order to locating information. Without doubt part of the foreseeable future for Learning Resource Centres.
