To gain a better understanding of how social
tagging and community input could benefit
both the Library and users of the collections -
To gain experience participating in Web
communities that are interested in the kinds
of materials in the Library’s collections. -
We placed only one tag
("Library of
Congress") and two machine tags on each
photo when we loaded them. Any other tags you
see were added by the community; we are generally
not controlling the content of Flickr tags,
notes and comments, but we reserve the right
to remove added content for any reason. -
please contribute your own tags,
comments, and identifying information. -
