Christophe ICD on 20 Apr 10"The purpose of this paper is to present the implementation of LibraryThing for Libraries LTFL in an academic library and analysis of usage of LTFL data and their potential for resource discovery in the catalog. Design/methodology/approach - The paper reviews the literature on social tagging and incorporation of third-party user-generated metadata into the library catalog. It provides an assessment based on the analysis of total absolute usage figures and frequency of use of LTFL data. Findings - Based on the data available, usage of LTFL data in the catalog is low, but several possible contributing factors are identified."
