What is a “tag?” A tag is a descriptive term used to
classify information.
In the catalog, librarians and customers use tags to make it easier to find materials on certain topics or in different genres.

An example…
I’m looking for a Teen historical fiction book.
FIRST – I type “historical fiction” in the catalog search box.
NEXT – I use the facets on the left side of the screen to narrow my results to only the tagged teen books.

clicking “All Teen Materials” under Collection.

items under Tag.

Some advice… Tags are VERY useful, but remember
that anyone with a library card can tag something. Be sure to double-check that your book really is a specific genre.
• SUBJECT TERMS are a great way to double- check!
