This is a really important point I think. Just as we discussed yesterday that not everyone is on Twitter, not everyone will necessarily use a catalogue - some will just browse. And of those that do use the catalogue fewer still will want to take the time to tag books. The comments/tags would need moderating, but they might also add a slant to the catalogue which is not true of the majority of users.

Benefits of a wiki format for manuals etc seem great. We don't use them at my library, because of the small number of staff, but for a larger organisation, the collaborative character of a wiki, combined with version control would be ideal. You'd still need editorial control though - which is what concerns me about social tagging in smallish catalogues (not much abt that yesterday?).
