I didn't have time to add this yesterday, but on the issue of social
tagging in academic libraries, there's some useful work by Charlotte Smith
in 2008 (see her presentation from the CIG conference):

And Jo Harcus did some work at Anglia Ruskin Uni which she talks about in
this video from the Cambridge Librarian TeachMeet:

What I found interesting is that there seems to be a real caution, not just
among library staff but among users themselves about user-generated content
on the catalogue.
