Tags are descriptive category labels or keywords that you and other library members attach to a title. Tags help you categorize titles in ways different from how your library classifies them. A tag can be a single word or a phrase.
Why Add Tags?
Tags help other members to find what they’re looking for, and enable you to organize your shelves in a meaningful way. Tags work alongside traditional indexing systems such as author, title and subject to enrich the library’s catalog.
► To add tags from a title’s details page
- Log in to your account.
- Search for the title you want.
- On the title’s details page, scroll down to the Explore Further section.
- Next to the Tags heading, click Add+.
- In the Add Tags popup, click in each of the boxes to add that type of tag. You can add four types.
- Genre tags tell others what type of work this is, such as mystery, anime, or self-help.
- Tone tags might include gloomy, exciting or straightforward.
- Theme tags describe topics or specific subjects, such as coming of age or baking the perfect cookie.
- Personal tags are for your personal notes. Words you enter in this field are not visible to other library users, but you can still use them to filter your shelves. For example, you may want to use this to tag books read in summer 2007.
- You can enter single words or phrases. Use commas to separate multiple tags.
- Click the Post Tags button to add the tags to the title’s catalog record.
Note: Tags are shown on a title’s details page. You can search for other titles with the same tag by clicking the tag word. You can also select Tags from the search dropdown list and enter words in the search box to find titles with the same tag.
