Abstract

With the development of Web2.0, social annotation system has affected the traditional information organization in libraries. Taking the books of Chinese-English translation as the research objects, this paper collects social tags from Douban, Amazon and Librarything, and gets the subject headings of MARC records from National Library of China and Library of Congress, to explore the differences between tags and subject headings of two types of vocabulary of each book in the length, number and the similarity. The results show the differences in length, number and similarity of social tags or subject headings of different languages, differences in those of books in different catalogues, and differences between tags and subject headings of a single book. This study can help the libraries to have a good knowledge of social tags and improve the service with them.
