Hi!

I see MyLibrary as a good way of inspiring even "web-suspicious" teachers to share content and see the advantages of using a portal like itslearning. However, I think MyLibrary lacks lots of functionality. It should be possible to:

• provide your contribution with tags and a description
• limit your search to global/site/private
• search on file type, tags, author
• preview picture files

On new web sites/document management systems you have the ability to add tags to all content so that it is easily searchable.

An example would be 'Joints in woodwork'. If you did a boolean search for 'joints' and 'woodwork' you would get a list of resources on the VLE that have these tags. This greatly aids searching across differnet departments for resources related to a specific topic.

Another example is this website - everything is tagged - why haven't we got this facility on the VLE?
