Laura - That’s pretty much why I had to give it up. It was okay to just sit down and do the whole thing last summer, but thinking about continuing to add things throughout the year didn’t work that well.

Your method of tagging kind of makes my head spin! It’s much more specific than I use, though, so I imagine in a bigger library than mine it would be incredibly useful.

I do love the tag page!!! It really has helped me, especially since I have so many.

The more posts I read about tagging, the more ideas pop into my head for using them. Using your immigration example, you could easily find books you’ve read on that topic that you liked to suggest to others without having to remember that all in your head. That’s a powerful tool. I’ve got to get more organized with that.

i’ve done a little content-tagging- i have a tag for post-Soviet literature and one for dystopian fiction, and maybe a couple of others. yes, i find it helps me make connections i might not have between works, and to see how far i can stretch definitions. but i haven’t gone as far with it as i probably could. yet.

Yes, I’ve found some near-duplicate tags on my LT Tag Page and have been able to standardize them (no need for both “immigrants” and “immigration”). The listing is a nice feature.
