You are always so timely! Did you see this blog about a study that indicates that people do remember websites the same way they remember (or not) books?
My cataloging class had a lot of fun messing around with ways you could make it possible to look up books by color, dimensions, other visual cues like gold edges of pages or image on the cover, location in the building, and position in the stacks using tagging! The only problem is the amount of stafftime it would take!

Wow, I hadn't seen it yet--and it's even a red book! My experience definitely agrees with their findings.
