Organization System Field Study
Anythink’s WordThink: A Revolutionary Organizational System
Abstract: This report documents the organizational systems of the Anythink Wright Farms branch of the Rangeview Library District located in Thornton, Colorado. This report illustrates how Anythink’s user-centered mission, vision and goals are reflected in their subject-based organizational system called WordThink. Furthermore, this report illustrates how WordThink effectively connects users to information which results in increased circulation rates. This report is based on attending the two Anythink workshops at the 2010 Colorado Association of Libraries Conference and making two library visits to Anythink Wright Farms.

Folksonomy Paper
Social Cataloging: A Golden Opportunity for Libraries to Engage Users
Abstract: This paper compares the use of LibraryThing, currently the most popular online social cataloging
service on the internet, to the Arapahoe Library District catalog which does not have any social cataloging features. Specifically, this paper compares the user-generated tags on LibraryThing to the Library of Congress Subject Headings in the library’s catalog. In addition, this paper highlights the High Plains Library District catalog which has integrated many social cataloging features into their catalog by adding LibraryThing for Libraries.

Thesaurus: Desserts
The purpose of this small Dessert Thesaurus is to categorize desserts by preparation and serving methods. The four broad parent terms (Baked, Chilled, Fried and Frozen) show methods of dessert preparation and serving while the narrower children terms are specific examples for each of the parent terms. The thesaurus show the hierarchical relationships between the terms. Because these preferred terms are associated with each other, search and retrieval are enhanced.

It is ultimately concluded that ontologies are a superior method of organizing information and various current uses of ontologies are discussed.
