This tagging stuff is pretty cool! I like the way that certain tags are bolder or have different font size to show their respective "weights" in the list. I think that tagging can be very helpful in the future. Right now, the Find Databases beta is available for students to help them identify which databases are most appropriate to search for information. I think once this becomes more established, the students will use it a lot. The Pollak Library's delicious account is very impressive. I think it would be helpful to have a library information page where students could have a similar way to find information about library services. For visual learners, something like this may be easier to understand than a plain vertical list. Seeing one long list of terms or questions can sometimes be overwhelming. Having a grouping that is alphabetical yet hierarchical in terms of font size and type could be less intimidating for some people.
Here's my delicious account:

Tag cloud about services etc may be pretty cool. I think it will be quite possible with the new content management system.
