Librarians – Using Tags

Tags are labels or keywords that you can attach to titles for quick filtering and grouping purposes. “August Release,” “Own-Voices Title,” “Local Author,” etc. Anytime you want to create a list of like titles, Tags are the answer.

Adding Tags

Within a catalog or title list, you can tag any title by clicking Tags, and then entering the appropriate tag in the Tags field that opens. To create a tag, simply type the tag (whatever you like) and hit <Enter> on your keyboard.

In some instances, you may want to tag multiple titles all at once. To do this, select the titles you would like to tag or select all the relevant titles in a catalog or title list by checking the boxes in the lefthand corner of a title listing. Alternatively, click into Actions and Select All:

Then select the Add Tags option. You’ll see a window that lists the number of titles selected. Enter your tag or tags here.

 

Since you can add multiple Tags in this screen, you’ll just need to confirm that you’re finished by clicking Save.

You can add a few different Tags widgets to your homepage. Details here!

Managing your Tags

You can manage all your tags in one place. This includes deleting, merging, or renaming tags. Begin by selecting the Manage Tags edit icon in the upper left corner of the Tags page:

Here, you can filter by your own tags, or see your entire Organization’s tags if you’re a User Administrator… and delete, merge, or rename tags as needed. The Merge tool can come in handy if you have two very similar but differently-spelled tags; just merge them into one.

Filtering for Tags

In any catalog or title list, you can filter for those titles that have Tags. You’ll see only those Tags that are contained within the list of titles you’re viewing.

If you’re viewing a catalog or title list that includes Notes or Tags, whether your own tags and notes or those created by your colleagues, you’ll see a little alert on the top right of the page:

Clicking on one of those indicators will show a pop-up with those titles and their Tags listed like so:

Clicking on a title will jump you right to that title in the title list.
