  1. Social Cataloguing By Jessie Buckley

  2. What is Social Cataloguing? “ Sites whose primary purpose is the cataloguing of material owned by its members (books, DVDs, music), while also building a community of users with that shared interest. Above and beyond the standard cataloguing, users build up a vast quantity of social data around the records, such as reviews, recommendations, ratings and tags. Rawson, J. 2011, ‘Social Cataloguing’, Socialoxfordlibs[wiki], Retrieved: 23 May 2011, From http://socialoxfordlibs.wikispaces.com/Social+cataloguing ”
