\nInterest in content user-assigned tags is one of the bi
 g new stories on the Web. But content tagging is not a new story. What's ne
 w about Web 2.0 is that end users are doing the tagging instead of libraria
 ns, and the results are being shown almost instantly on websites like flick
 r, del.icio.us, Wikipedia, and Technorati.Librarians have long contended th
 at end users cannot usefully tag content because they are not trained in ho
 w to do indexing. More correctly, end users cannot tag content the way libr
 arians tag content. But this begs the question about what kind of tagging i
 s useful.
\n
\nJoseph will discuss the usefulness to be found in tagging as
  it relates to librarians and usability professionals, the Semantic Web, an
 d document and content management practices.
