David Pattern just made my day year, and just under the wire, too.

Taggytastic

"Inspired by Jenny Levine's mock up of an OPAC with keyword tags, I've gone a step further and used our Horizon database (the 'subject' table in particular) to generate a real page based on subject keywords with more than 10 bibs:

Now that's browsing the catalog! I can immediately tell which subjects the University of Huddersfield Library collects most in, and I'm one click away from viewing the subject headings. Suh-weet!

Of course, you can tell that these aren't user-generated tags because of subjects like "Art, Modern", "Europe, Eastern", and "Learning, Psychology of", but what a fabulous marriage of structured classification and the browsability of tag clouds. Excellent job, David; I'm adding a screenshot to tomorrow's presentation!
