Thing 11

Tagging is fun and I'll have to admit I didn't know "anyone" can add a tag!! (I guess I always just thought there is a "tagging master" whose only job is to come up with fun and interesting tags.) I use the tagging part of Encore a lot when searching books for patrons. I've also seen tags at many other sites and always find them useful. I personally haven't done any of my own tagging until today. I looked up one of my favorite J / YA Fiction books by Jerry Spinelli called Stargirl. I noticed there were subject headings to search under, but no tags. I added peer pressure (which wasn't one of the given subject headings) because I think this would be a great book to read to a class or in a book discussion group in order to spark a meaningful conversation on peer pressure. The girl (Stargirl) in the book is eccentric and different, but by the end of the book you actually wished you "knew" a Stargirl.
