Architecture of participation
Library as conversation(and participation)
Adding services like blogs and Wikis may be seen merely as adjunct to current library offerings. As with any technological advance, scarce resources must be weighed against a desire to incorporate new services. Do we expand the collection, improve the Web site, or offer blogs to students?
A better approach for making these kinds of decisions is to look at the needs of the community served in context with the commonly accepted, core tasks of a library, and see how they can be recast (and enhanced) as conversational, or participatory tools. In point of fact, every service, patron, and access point is a starting point for a conversation.

Bottom-up categorization: types of data and their domains are discussed among the members (so is the necessity to adopt external classification schemes)
Factors to consider when describing books...What does the author do best?What makes the book popular?What do readers talk about most?What other authors/titles does the book remind you of?Who else might enjoy reading this book and why?How does it fit with other books in a genre?
