Résumé : This paper examines the potential of collaborative tagging to organise online healthcare resources. First, users‘ tags are compared to librarians‘ descriptors. The comparison shows that the majority of tags are relevant and useful for the information retrieval process. Moreover, numerous tags provide the tagged resources with additional access points compared with descriptors. Second, an analysis of end-users‘ seeking practices is envisioned in order to find out if collaborative tagging could help them in their information retrieval process. To collect the relevant data, three successive steps are considered: ethnographical observations, in-depth interviews and focus groups.
