Amazon users can tag books within a personalized section of the site called Your Media Library.
Here you can view all your previous purchases and buy online access to eligible hard-copy books you’ve already bought from Amazon. You can organize your Media Library by tagging individual books this way:
– Click on the book to select it, and bibliographic information will be displayed at the top of the screen.
– Any currently used tags for the book will be displayed just below.
– Click the Add button to enter tags. If you’ve created other tags previously, a list of similar tags is shown below the edit box.
– Type in a new tag or click a suggested tag and click OK to save the tag.
Once you’re using tags, it’s best to try to reuse tags to designate the same association. For example, don’t use “art deco” and “artdec” for the same things. Consult the list of your most frequently used tags, which pops up when you’re tagging.
Although it’s used by a relatively small portion of Amazon users today, Media Library could become the hub of Amazon’s social-networking strategy -— an avenue for customers to connect with others who have common interests, and building networks of like-minded book lovers.
