Abstract
What can an academic catalog look like in a Web 2.0 environment? This poster presents data analyzing the quality and quantity of the metadata that a large academic library would expect to gain if utilizing a service like that found on LibraryThing. It also looks at the advantaages and disadvantages of controlled vocabularies and social tagging.
