Seems like that could be the best option, Greg. Though generally I equate tags with keywords and would think they should be searchable one in the same.
Is the only way to see tags when you're logged in as a patron, and looking at your own list? Also, reiterating what I asked before- has anyone tried the LibraryThing for Libraries tagging option? That might be the best way to go, though it does have a price. CM 2011/5/24 G.
