| Abstract: | In August 2008, tagging was implemented on articles that were full text searchable within the National Library of Australia’s historic Australian Newspapers service (http://newspapers.nla.gov.au).. During the first year, 500 users created over 100,000 tags, 38,000 of which were distinct. The tagging was very successful and the National Library will be extending the tagging functionality to all of its other collections before the end of 2009. In this article, the tagging activity, behaviors and outcomes are analyzed and compared with other research on image tagging. |
