There's a lot of capacity and enthusiasm for play that can actually contribute interesting, fun and useful content for library/catalogue web sites. Luis Von Ahn has developed the ESP and other games and explores the untapped potential of games in his work on Human Computation.

He cites the example of a Flickr group called NAME THAT FILM, where members post screenshots of movies and other members would try to guess what film it comes from by tagging that photo. He feels that if OPACs become social, then it would interesting to see what sort of games our readers might come up with similar to the Flickr one. I’m curious as to what readers would tag the books that they have read if tagging is possible. Currently, there are already some libraries that have OPACs that have a social networking element. And I’m sure there’ll be many more in the next couple of years when libraries become more Library 2.0.
