[Sigcr-l] question on The Power To Tag 12|03

[Miksa, Shawne]

Will this presentation be recorded in some way and/or presentation materials made available? 

Also, social tagging overall is an area I need to investigate more fully, especially as it concerns possible applications to enhancing subject representation and retrieval in library catalogs (e.g., LibraryThing's widget for importing user supplied terms directly into a online catalog record. Found a book "Tagging: people powered metadata for the social web" by Gene Smith (ISBN 0-321-52917-0) and am trying to order another entitled "Understanding Folksonomy: Catalyzing Users to Enrich Information" by Thomas Vander Wal, but it doesn't seem to be published yet. 

Anyone have a good bibliography that I can take a look at or perhaps a good reliable blog or website?  I confess to not having kept up on this particular subject area. 

thanks,
S.
