LibraryThing Weblog
LibraryThing now has a second weblog, Thing-ology devoted to discussion of access.
This is the place where we'll talk about the meanings, methods, and debate around LibraryThing and its features. I expect there to be discussion of Web 2.0, Library 2.0, social software, FRBR and LT's "works" system, folksonomies and taxonomies, and much much more. Information Science! Philosophy! Controversy! To the library world and beyond, people!The first posting is about tags and subject headings. Seems like mostly library folks are involved in the discussion, if not catalogers.
