Social Tagging in Historic Australian Newspapers

Holley, Rose. "Tagging Full Text Searchable Articles: An Overview of Social Tagging Activity in Historic Australian Newspapers August 2008 — August 2009" D-Lib Magazine 16(1/2)(January/February 2010), at: http://www.dlib.org/dlib/january10/holley/01holley.html
In November 2008, National Library of Australia provided users the ability to tag full-text searchable articles in the historic Australian Newspapers service. The one-year experiment proved to be quite successful and Holley presented her analysis of the tagging activities, user behavior, and outcome. The Library will extend the tagging functionality to their entire collections.
